Clinician-parent communication may often be difficult, especially soon after the diagnosis. The aims of this article are to identify the communication strategies associated with expressions of adaptive emotions in parents and to explore the effect of the type of leukemia and of parent's gender on parents' expressions of emotions. The data are obtained from 4.622 conversational turns of 20 videotaped interviews with 10 mothers and 10 fathers of children at their first hospitalization for leukemia. A coding scheme for parent emotional expressions was reliably applied by two independent judges. An original self-report questionnaire on parents' emotional states was used before and after the interview. Positive politeness of interviewer elicits adaptive emotional expressions in parents. Mothers of children with acute myeloid leukemia and fathers of children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia appear more distressed during the interview. This interview can be identified as an innovative technique of communication with parents of children with cancer.
医患沟通往往可能很困难，尤其是在诊断后不久。本文的目的是确定与父母表达适应性情绪相关的沟通策略，并探讨白血病类型和父母性别对父母情绪表达的影响。数据来自对 20 名首次因白血病住院的儿童的 10 名母亲和 10 名父亲的 20 段录像采访中的 4622 个对话轮。两位独立评委可靠地应用了父母情绪表达的编码方案。在采访前后，使用了一份关于父母情绪状态的原始自我报告问卷。采访者的积极礼貌会引发父母的适应性情绪表达。急性髓细胞白血病患儿的母亲和急性淋巴细胞白血病患儿的父亲在采访中显得更加痛苦。这种访谈可以被确定为与癌症患儿父母沟通的一种创新技术。
