Cancer survivors' disclosure of complementary health approaches to physicians: The role of patient‐centered communication

Abstract: Background Cancer survivors’ disclosure of complementary health approaches (CHA) to their follow-up care physicians is necessary to ensure safe and optimal use of such approaches. Rates of disclosure of CHA are variable and may be facilitated by patient-centered communication. Methods This cross-sectional study conducted in 2003–2004 examined a population-based sample (N=623) of leukemia, colorectal, and bladder cancer survivors who were 2–5 years post-diagnosis. A subset of participants who reported using C… Show more

“… 18 , 21 Given the high prevalence of CAM use among cancer patients, emerging evidence that certain CAM therapies can improve patient quality of life and reduce treatment and disease-related symptoms, and the potential interaction between some CAM therapies and conventional cancer treatment, we encourage oncology providers to discuss CAM use with their patients in an open and nonjudgmental fashion in order to facilitate patient-centered communication as well as participatory patient decision making. 22 …”

“…Although this review suggests that patients with ID or IS do not generally consider their GP as possessing knowledge of self-care options for sleep disturbances, evidence also suggests that patients frequently do not ask about a GP's knowledge and/or advice about self-care options for the treatment of sleep disturbances (Morin et al 2006;Stinson et al 2006). This is also indicated in the wider general literature regarding self-care options-particularly CAM self-care (Thomson et al 2012;Frawley et al 2014;Sohl et al 2015).…”

“…This is the situation with most CAM users [14, 19–21]. It signals that if the public health care wants to be trusted and actually act person-centred [47], it is of crucial importance to focus on well-functioning communication and increased knowledge about CAM users’ perspectives on benefits and risks associated with the use of CAM and conventional treatment [13, 14, 2024, 48, 49].…”

“…They uphold a relationship to public healthcare, and studies show that most CAM users want to discuss possible benefits and risks associated with their CAM use with their conventional healthcare providers [14, 19]. Despite this, an indirect risk related to CAM use is that as many as 50% of CAM users actually do not disclose their use of CAM in clinical settings in public healthcare, often because they fear that raising this issue may negatively affect the patient-doctor relation [14, 20, 21].…”
