The role of emotion in communicating
with seriously ill patients
Recent psychological research emphasizes the importance of emotions in the
decision-making process. In this session, Dr. Arnold and Dr. Back will describe
two of their projects that focus on the interface of communication, decision-
making and emotions:
! An empirical study using an interactive educational program to improve
oncologists’ ability to respond to patient’s emotions and the impact of the
intervention on patient outcomes.
! A qualitative study of patients “thinking aloud” as they listen to audio-
recordings of oncologists talking to patients about goals of care.
