Description

Eunjeong Ko and co-authors survey cancer nurses in mainland China about hard choices in sharing a prognosis. Telling a patient how their cancer may unfold is a key part of good end-of-life care. Culture, beliefs, and family norms can make that talk feel ethically hard.

The survey drew replies from 373 nurses who care for cancer patients. On the scale used, nurses scored at a mid level for such dilemmas. Dilemmas ran higher for nurses who saw more blocks to open talk. They also ran higher after bad past talks, and lower as years on the job grew. The authors call for training and support shaped to local culture.
