Nowadays, websites, online journals, and social media give access to an extraordinary amount of medical information. Misleading news are often disseminated generating false expectations, exaggerated anxiety, and confusion; in oncology setting, disinformation is perhaps more deleterious than in other fields, with a considerable impact on single patients as well as on families and, more in general, on Public Health. We aimed to promote a better interaction between the health care and the world of communication.
A regional technical table was established with the aim of drafting a shared document through the consensus conference method in the RAND/University of California Los Angeles variant, identifying strategies to overcome barriers between communication and health care as well as to propose common criteria for an effective dissemination of medical information.
Sixteen articles met the inclusion criteria, from which 72 recommendations were drawn to the communication and health field (40 related to specific issues and 32 transversal to all the specific topics). Following an evaluation of relevance by the panel of experts, it was found that 57 recommendations scored more than 7, 13 between 4 and 6.9, and 2 below 4.
This consensus and the drawn up document represent a concrete attempt to find a renewed and strategic alliance between key figures in health care and communication operators. As the American Declaration of Independence, our Declaration of Good Communication has identified high-impact recommendations for the best management of patients, providing simple but fundamental concepts and recommendations about effectiveness especially in oncology setting.
如今，网站、在线期刊和社交媒体提供了海量的医学信息。误导性的新闻经常传播，产生虚假的期望、夸大的焦虑和困惑；在肿瘤学领域，虚假信息的危害可能比其他领域更大，对单个患者、家庭，甚至更广泛的公共卫生都有相当大的影响。我们旨在促进医疗保健和传播世界之间的更好互动。
成立了一个地区技术小组，目的是通过 RAND/加州大学洛杉矶分校变体的共识会议方法起草一份共享文件，确定克服沟通和医疗保健之间障碍的策略，以及提出有效传播医学信息的共同标准。
符合纳入标准的文章有 16 篇，从中得出了 72 条针对沟通和医疗领域的建议（40 条与具体问题相关，32 条适用于所有具体主题）。专家组对相关性进行评估后发现，57 条建议得分超过 7，13 条得分在 4 到 6.9 之间，2 条得分低于 4。
这项共识和起草的文件代表了在医疗保健和传播者中的关键人物之间寻求新的和战略性联盟的具体尝试。就像美国的独立宣言一样，我们的良好沟通宣言确定了对患者最佳管理具有高影响力的建议，提供了关于有效性的简单但基本的概念和建议，特别是在肿瘤学领域。
