The communication with the patient suffering cancer is attracting an increasing attention. The change of attitudes towards death in our society, the poor training of physicians in this field and other factors have raised this new problem. In addition to the patient and the physician, the relatives and the nursing staff are also involved in the communication process. From the studies already performed, it can be derived that the "bearable truth" has to be supplied to the patient. The application of this concept needs time and dedication to the patient.
与癌症患者的沟通正日益受到关注。我们社会中对死亡态度的转变、医生在该领域培训不足以及其他因素引发了这个新问题。除了患者和医生,亲属及护理人员也参与到沟通进程中。从已开展的研究可以得出,必须向患者提供“可承受的真相”。这一理念的应用需要时间以及对患者的全身心投入。
