Significant Difference

Background: Effective communication between nurses and patients in cancer is central element of care. There is a lack of understanding of the value of interpersonal communication between the cancer patients and the professional. Purposes: this study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Communication Skills Training Program (CSTP) for undergraduate nursing students in caring for cancer patients. Method: One group pretest and posttest quasi experimental design was used to assess the effectiveness of Communication Skills Training Program for undergraduate nursing students in caring for cancer patients. A sample of thirty three students was participated. Students' knowledge was assessed by using a knowledge test. Students' communication skills were observed and evaluated pre- and post-intervention by using Checklist observation sheet namely communication skills observation checklist (SEGUE). Results: there was a significant difference between the students’ level of knowledge pre-and post-intervention (t=–10.12, p=0.001). A significant difference between the students’ level of communication pre-and post-intervention (t=-4.67, p=0.001) was found. Conclusions and Implications: communication skills among undergraduate nursing students were improved by the training program. Different teaching aid such as role playing, open discussion, and bedside demonstration were effective in increasing the level of knowledge and skills. Findings indicate that having specific communication skills program is effective in increasing nurses’ knowledge and developing communication skills also.

Risks Factors

Depression is a common occurrence among cancer patients; however, it goes undetected by healthcare providers in about 50% of cases. Ambulatory nurses are in a key position to identify and respond to a patient’s emotional distress and aid in the detection of patients at risk for or suffering from depression. Programmes in communication skills training have been shown to help nurses detect and respond to patient depression. A model of core communication components consisting of strategies, skills, and process tasks is presented. This model will enable nurses to gain an understanding of the patient’s experience and assist in the recognition and treatment of depression. The results of a pilot programme utilizing this model and skills will also be presented. An overview of the nature of depression and risks factors and barriers to the identification of depression is presented.

ObjectivesMany cancer patients experience high levels of anxiety and concern during radiotherapy, often with long-lasting effects on their well-being. This systematic review aims to describe and determine the effectiveness of communication skills training (CST) for the radiotherapy team (RT) to improve conversations in this setting and to support patients with emotional concerns.DesignSystematic review.InterventionsCST for RT members.Data sourcesOn 17 April 2018, databases Medline, Embase, Scopus and PsycNET were searched.Eligibility criteria, Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome(PICO)Quantitative and/or qualitative articles were included that evaluate the effect of a CST for RT members (vs no CST) on communication behaviours and patients’ emotional concerns.Data extraction and synthesisArticles were appraised using the mixed-methods appraisal tool, and a narrative synthesis was performed.ResultsOf the nine included articles, five were randomised controlled trials, three were mixed-methods and one used repeated measurements. Four of the five different CST programmes managed to increase emotional communicative behaviour from the RT, and all studies measuring patient communicative behaviour found an improvement in at least one of the hypothesised outcomes. Two studies examining patient anxiety and concerns found a positive effect of the CST, although one found a negative effect; two other studies without a positive effect on mood made use of both empathic CST and tools.ConclusionsThere are promising indications that CST can be successfully introduced to improve emotional conversations between RT members and patients. With the right support, the RT can play an important role to help patients cope with their emotional concerns. Future work is necessary to confirm initial promising results and to ensure the learnt communication skills are sustained.
