Providers’ Perceptions of Communication Breakdowns in Cancer Care

Decription

Communication breakdowns in cancer care are unfortunately common and represent a failure in patient-centered care. While multiple studies have elicited patients’ perspectives on these breakdowns, little is known about cancer care providers’ attitudes regarding the causes and potential solutions. The purpose of this article is to examine providers’ (1) perceptions of the nature and causes of communication breakdowns with patients in cancer care and (2) suggestions for managing and preventing breakdowns.
