    Longitudinal characterisation of haematological and biochemical parameters in cancer patients prior to and during COVID-19 reveals features associated with outcome.

    ESMO open·2021

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Sociolinguistics
    • Cross-cultural Communication

    Background:

    • Psychiatric facilities serve diverse populations with varying linguistic backgrounds.
    • Socio-linguistic factors can impede effective patient-psychiatrist communication.
    • Undiagnosed communication issues can affect patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine cross-cultural communication problems between patients and psychiatrists.
    • To identify the impact of linguistic differences on psychiatric treatment.
    • To evaluate specific types of communication breakdowns.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of communication breakdowns in an in-patient psychiatric setting.
    • Evaluation of overt language differences.
    • Assessment of linguistic ambiguity and insecurity.

    Main Results:

    • Socio-linguistic problems can negatively affect diagnosis and treatment integration.
    • Three types of communication breakdowns identified: overt language differences, linguistic ambiguity, and linguistic insecurity.
    • Linguistic insecurity significantly impacts patient progress.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a need to identify and assess language insecurity in psychiatric patients.
    • Therapeutic procedures require modification to address inter-dialectic communication challenges.
    • Improving cross-cultural communication is essential for better psychiatric outcomes.
