Cancer patients' respect experiences in relation to perceived communication behaviours from hospital staff: analysis of the 2012-2013 National Cancer Patient Experience Survey

摘要

Purpose Respect experiences are poorly understood despite respect being central to professionalism in health care and patient well-being, and needed for optimal patient care. This study explores which patient-perceived communication behaviours from hospital staff contribute most to cancer patients' respect experiences and account for variation in their experience by socio-demographic and clinical characteristics.
