Families with a melanoma history are at risk of melanoma. Melanoma survival improves when people are aware of their risk and ways to modify it. We explored at-risk families' perceived risk communication from healthcare providers.
Qualitative description.
Participants perceived: (1) few provider discussions of melanoma risk or risk-modifying behaviors; (2) a desire to trust information from providers; (3) the healthcare system constrains communication; and (4) concerns about provider competence and caring regarding worrisome lesions.
Providers should provide clear, comprehensive, accurate, and consistent messages about melanoma to persons at high risk; messages also convey competence and caring.
有黑色素瘤病史的家族存在患黑色素瘤的风险。当人们意识到自身风险及降低风险的方法时,黑色素瘤患者的生存率会提高。我们探讨了高危家族对医疗服务提供者风险沟通的认知情况。
定性描述。
参与者认为:(1)医疗服务提供者很少讨论黑色素瘤风险或风险修正行为;(2)希望信任医疗服务提供者提供的信息;(3)医疗系统限制了沟通;(4)担心医疗服务提供者对令人担忧的病变的专业能力和关怀程度。
医疗服务提供者应向高危人群提供关于黑色素瘤的清晰、全面、准确和一致的信息;这些信息还应传达专业能力和关怀。
