Little is known about how psychologists working in cancer care centres communicate clinical information to other members of the multidisciplinary team or what information is communicated.
This study surveyed Australian cancer care psychologists regarding their communication practices and their views on barriers to and facilitators of effective inter-disciplinary communication.
Psychologists were invited to complete an online survey containing purpose-designed items that addressed study aims.
Forty-four psychologists completed the survey. Psychologists' most common method of recording initial consultations was in patient medical records, with 69 % of respondents recording notes in either most of the time or all of the time. Twenty-two percent of psychologists said they did not regularly feedback the results of an initial assessment to a referrer and more than 40 % used verbal and e-mail communication to do so.
This study provides data that will assist in the development of guidelines for inter-professional communication between psychologists and other members of the cancer care team.
对于在癌症治疗中心工作的心理学家如何与多学科团队的其他成员交流临床信息，以及交流哪些信息，人们知之甚少。
本研究调查了澳大利亚癌症治疗心理学家的沟通实践情况，以及他们对跨学科有效沟通的障碍和促进因素的看法。
心理学家被邀请完成一份在线调查，其中包含了针对研究目的设计的项目。
44 名心理学家完成了调查。心理学家记录初始咨询的最常见方法是在患者的医疗记录中，69%的受访者表示他们经常或全部记录笔记。22%的心理学家表示他们不会定期向转介者反馈初始评估的结果，超过 40%的心理学家通过口头和电子邮件进行沟通。
