A poor doctor-patient-communication in cancer care has negative effects on psychological well being and causes high economic costs. This review analyses the current literature on the impact of communication on distress, satisfaction and utilization of psychosocial services among cancer patients with regard to patients' communication preferences. Crucial to a successful communication seems to be the match of patients' preferences and actual physician's behaviour. However, preferences depend on various factors and can change during the illness trajectory. As preferences often remain unconsidered in everyday practice, they should be assessed repeatedly. For the lack of theoretical foundation, future research should be designed according to theoretical assumptions. In this respect we developed and suggest a model on the impact of patients' preferences on physician-patient-communication, knowledge and use of psychosocial treatment offers that particularly considers psychosocial distress of cancer patients.

“…Death acceptance is defined as an individual being at ease with his or her awareness of personal mortality; individuals who are not at ease with their own mortality experience death anxiety Sinha 1987-1988). A more detailed definition of death acceptance, advanced by Klug and Boss (1976), is ''the deliberate, intellectual acknowledgement of the prospect of one's own inevitable death, and the positive emotional assimilation of the consequences'' (p. 230).…”

The Role of Postformal Cognitive Development in Death Acceptance

This research is the first to test the relation between postformal complex thought (PFT) and death acceptance. College students (N = 225) completed the PFT questionnaire (Cartwright et al., J Adult Dev, 2009), the Need for Cognition scale (Cacioppo et al., J Personality Assess 48: 3, 1984), and Klug's Death Acceptance Scale, comprised of death integration and confrontation scales (Klug and Sinha, Omega 18:229-235, 1987). A series of hierarchical regression analyses showed PFT made a significant contribution to death acceptance over the contributions of other cognitive and demographic variables, as predicted. Further, PFT made a significant contribution to death integration but not to death confrontation. These results are consistent with contemporary theories of adult cognitive development and PFT.

“…The fourth dependent variable is death acceptance, defined as "the deliberate, intellectual acknowledgment of the prospect of one's own inevitable death, and the positive emotional assimilation of the consequences" (Klug& Sinha, 1987/1988. Although death and loss are a natural and inevitable part of the human experience, there are manyways in which Western society does not embrace it as such.…”

Despite the centrality of grief as a universal response to loss, and its prevalence in the social work domain, little empirical attention has been given to the impact of grief instruction in social work courses. This article presents results of a study examining the impact of a multimethod grief course on graduate social work students' level of death acceptance and sense of preparedness to respond to personal and professional losses. A quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group design was used. Findings suggest that the grief course assisted students to perceive greater competence in their knowledge, skills, andsense ofpreparation for working with grieving clients, and that the course increased cognitive and affective dimensions of death acceptance in students. lrnplications for future research and for social work education are discussed in light of the study limitations.
