Teaching and Learning Oncology Communication: A Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives in Chinese Context

Teaching and Learning Oncology Communication: A Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives in Chinese Context

by Jack Pun 

This book explores approaches to teaching oncology communication to health professionals, with a particular focus on insights drawn from the Chinese context. As oncology communication is inherently interprofessional, the book brings together diverse voices to share experiences, perspectives, and practical guidance on how communication in cancer care can be effectively taught and strengthened.

Contributors represent a wide range of stakeholders involved in oncology care, including oncologists, palliative care specialists, nurses, counselors, physiotherapists, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, cancer patients, and health communication scholars. Their collective expertise offers a holistic view of communication needs and teaching methods across different stages of the cancer journey.

Grounded in theory, research, and clinical practice, this volume will serve as a valuable resource for clinical educators, allied health professionals, doctors and nurses in training, medical students, health communication researchers, and anyone working or conducting research in oncology communication.
