Abstract Background There is widespread agreement about the importance of communication skills training (CST) for healthcare professionals caring for cancer patients. Communication can be effectively learned and improved through specific CST. Existing CSTs have some limitations with regard to transferring the learning to the workplace. The aim of the study is developing, piloting, and preliminarily assessing a CST programme for hospital physicians caring for advanced cancer patients to improve communication competences. Methods This is a Phase 0-I study that follows the Medical Research Council framework; this paper describes the following sections: a literature review on CST, the development of the Teach to Talk training programme (TtT), the development of a procedure for assessing the quality of the implementation process and assessing the feasibility of the implementation process, and the pilot programme. The study was performed at a 900-bed public hospital. The programme was implemented by the Specialized Palliative Care Service. The programme was proposed to 19 physicians from 2 departments. Results The different components of the training course were identified, and a set of quality indicators was developed. The TtT programme was implemented; all the physicians attended the lesson, videos, and role-playing sessions. Only 25% of the physicians participated in the bedside training. It was more challenging to involve Haematology physicians in the programme. Conclusions The programme was completed as established for one of the two departments in which it was piloted. Thus, in spite of the good feedback from the trainees, a re-piloting of a different training program will be developed, considering in particular the bed side component. The program should be tailored on specific communication attitude and believes, probably different between different specialties.

Healthcare Communication

In this chapter, we describe some of the challenges present in healthcare communication in Arab countries, including: disclosure of diagnosis; working with families; and language barriers. We then focus specifically on the efforts being made in the multicultural state of Qatar to improve communication skills in healthcare. We describe the curricular approach with medical students at Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar, with examples of challenges faced surrounding gender and culture issues. We then describe the communication skills training programme for residents, fellows, and practising physicians at Hamad Medical Corporation, the public healthcare system. Challenges in Arab countries for healthcare communication result predominantly from multicultural populations and from cultural differences with the West. This chapter explores how these clinicians can face and transcend these challenges via communication skills training.
