Background The stigma experienced by cancer patients stems from the association of cancer with death, as cancer is the most feared disease worldwide, especially among cancer patients and their families. The stigma regarding breast cancer screening behaviour has not been critically evaluated and is poorly understood; therefore, we aimed to analyse the stigmatization of breast cancer patients in Indonesia to reduce the morbidity and mortality of breast cancer. Methods A qualitative study using a focus group discussion (FGD) and in-depth interviews with thematic analysis was conducted. Results One informant experienced breast pain and kept the referral letter, in which the medical doctor advised medical treatment, to herself for 3 months due to her embarrassment. A traditional healing practice known as ‘kerokan’, which involves scraping of the skin, and consumption of a traditional drink were used by most informants to decrease their breast pain. Finally, most informants were diagnosed with an advanced stage of cancer when they returned to the health care facility. In addition, financial difficulties were noted as barriers to breast cancer screening in Indonesia. Conclusions Feelings of fear and shame when diagnosed with breast cancer were reported by the informants in this study. Alternative treatment known as ‘kerokan’ was the first treatment sought for breast cancer symptoms due to financial difficulties among breast cancer patients. Informants were diagnosed with an advanced stage of cancer after they returned to the health care facility. A better understanding of early breast cancer symptoms could motivate women to seek out breast cancer treatment.

“…The first pile consisted of articles ( n = 25) whose findings did not have the potential to be relevant for communication training. The four main reasons for not considering these articles were as follows: they reported an element of communication, which is specific to a local context and thus not suitable for training outside this very context, for instance Egan et al (), Heidari and Mardani‐Hamooleh () and Anarado, Ezeome, Ofi, Nwaneri, and Ogbolu (); they assessed the effect of a communication tool, for instance Miller et al (), Lipson‐Smith et al () and Cooley et al (); they focused on a singular clinical situation (e.g., fertility preservation) or treatment (e.g., for early stage non‐small cell lung cancer, recurrent ovarian cancer), for instance Elit et al (), Dyer and Quinn (), and Golden, Thomas, Moghanaki, and Slatore (); or they addressed interventions to empower patients, for instance Jones et al (), and Halkett et al ().…”

Objective The critics and recommendations for communication training in oncology call for new ideas, which may contribute to designing the next generation of training. The aim of this work was to search the literature on communication in oncology for empirically grounded observations that might be useful for the development of training approaches. Methods The approach consists of identifying findings that might serve as cues for the design of the next generation of training. The literature search strategy allowed the inclusion of 68 articles. Results Findings of the articles showed that multiple factors shape clinical communication: the functions and effects of information provision, the relational and interactional aspects of communication, its patient‐ and context‐related dimensions, and the intrapsychic and context‐related barriers hampering the patient encounter that clinicians are facing. Conclusion A way to reach all oncologists and to provide training centred on the singular needs of participants is a shift in the focus of training from communication tasks or communication‐related situations to the clinician. Practice implications Training should focus on the competencies and qualities to be developed by clinicians, such as being flexible, able to adapt to the singular patient, sensitive to interactional aspects of communication, which influence the clinical encounter.

Background: Stigma of cancer patients was identified with death, making cancer is the most feared diseases by mankind worldwide especially cancer patients and their families. A critical evaluation of the breast cancer stigma regarding breast cancer screening behaviour is poorly understood, so we aimed to analyse the stigmatization of breast cancer patient in Indonesia for reducing morbidity and mortality of breast cancer. Methods: A qualitative study using focus group discussion and in-depth interviews with thematic analysis was conducted in this research. Results: The informants endured the pain of their breast and kept the referral letter which the medical doctor advised to medical treatment for three months later due to their embarrassment. Traditional healing using scrapping as known ‘kerokan’ and consumed some traditional drink were done by most informants to decrease the pain on their breast. Finally, most informants were diagnosed in an advanced stage when they returned to the health facilities. In addition, financial difficulties were noted as barriers of breast cancer screening in such Indonesia. Conclusions: Feeling fear and shame when diagnosed with breast cancer were identified in this study. Alternative treatment using scrapping as known ‘kerokan’ lead the first seeking help for breast cancer symptoms due to financial difficulties among patient of breast cancer. Diagnosed in an advanced stage was revealed by most of the informants after they returned back to health facilities.
