Summary
Trust in multiple myeloma (MM) care develops through clinician communication and interaction. Enhancing clinician communication skills can improve patient trust and shared decision-making for better cancer treatment outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Patient-Clinician Relationships
- Health Communication
Background:
- Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable cancer requiring complex treatment decisions.
- Effective shared decision-making relies on strong patient-clinician trust.
- Understanding trust development is crucial for MM patient care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore how trust develops between multiple myeloma patients and their clinicians.
- To identify key factors influencing trust in the MM patient-clinician relationship.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative study utilizing 19 semi-structured interviews with MM patients.
- Thematic analysis of interview transcripts to identify patterns in trust development.
Main Results:
- Trust is influenced by external validation and direct patient-clinician interactions.
- Internally validated trust stems from clinician competence, communication, empathy, and honesty.
- Trust directly impacts patients' engagement in shared decision-making.
Conclusions:
- Trust development is multifactorial, influenced by both external factors and clinician behaviors.
- Improving clinician communication and empathy can enhance patient trust.
- Prioritizing trusting relationships is essential for effective shared decision-making in MM care.

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...
