Discussing the patient experience: Kicki Klaeson – Linkoping University, Sweden
Update: 2012-09-24
Description
Kicki Klaeson talks to ecancer at ICCN 17, in Prague, about the importance of focusing on the human experience of having cancer, as well as the symptoms and the biology of the patient.
Recently, there has been an increased interest in the issue of sexuality and how to discuss this with patients. Many doctors and nurses often wonder when should they talk about this and because of this uncertainty, patients are never asked.
Ms Klaeson discuses how her studies take into account the biomedical perspective and use this to look at the emotional effects, especially in patients aged 45-65. Some of the studies simply asked, ‘how do you feel?’ as well as having focused groups aiming to capture an individual and group perspective.
