Overview

Mixed-methods research reveals communication barriers in cancer treatment, suggesting climate-responsive strategies to improve patient engagement.

Key Points

  • 72.5% of patients reported doctor-dominated discussions, limiting their input and engagement.
  • Empathetic communication improves patient knowledge and treatment adherence despite environmental challenges.
  • Policy recommendations stress climate-responsive communication training to enhance oncological practices.
