“…The BBN process has changed drastically over the past decades, moving from a paternalistic medical approach to one of greater patient empowerment, which acknowledges the need for information13–14 and results in a greater awareness and clearer understanding of their diagnosis and prognosis 13. Patients prefer to receive individualized, comprehensive information communicated with warmth and honesty 15–18.…”

“…Despite numerous efforts put forth to better coordinate care and services for cancer patients, significant shortcomings remain at several levels, specifically in terms of hospital discharge planning, transfers within the same facility, transfers from one facility to another, and transition to the home (ISQ, 2014). The resources available also pose difficulties in terms of support and communication between professionals, at the screening and medical workup stages, during news of the diagnosis, treatment and palliative care (Ganz, Casillas, & Hahn, 2008;Garderet, Olivier, Najman, & Gorin, 2006;Hewitt & Simone, 1999;ISQ, 2014;Kantsiper et al, 2009). These problems are cause for concern given the high number of transitions and discharge plans cancer patients (inpatient and outpatient) experience during the care process (Burge, Lawson, & Critchley, 2005) and the impact they can have on health and well-being (Comité consultatif concernant les hospitalisations évitables, 2011; Davidson, Moore, MacMillan, & Wiens, 2004;Davies & Batehup, 2011).…”

A research project brought together patient partners, nurse leaders from six clinical settings in Quebec and researchers to develop and test a web technology, the Forum for Knowledge Exchange (FKE), in order to improve discharge planning practices and oncological care transitions. The project led to the creation of a FKE accessible to the oncology sector of the Francophonie. It revealed an innovative strategy of knowledge transfer (KT) based on the FKE and was fed by collaborative work among partners, where the patient partners played a vital role. The results highlighted the importance, for health research, of giving a voice to patient partners in close collaboration with clinicians and researchers so that clinical practices are better adapted to the actual needs of patients and of their relatives.

“…Elle suscite une grande peur et engendre souvent un choc profond. Maintes recherches s'attardent au moment charnière de l'annonce du diagnostic de cancer par les professionnels de la santé (Clément-Hryniewicz et Paillaud, 2008 ;Garderet, Ollivier, Najman, et Gorin, 2006 ). Toutefois, beaucoup moins se penchent sur les discours des personnes atteintes de cancer à propos de leur maladie et encore moins sur leur discours après l'annonce du diagnostic.…”

Among the older population in Canada, the majority of whom are women, incurable cancer is rampant. Having incurable cancer often implies suffering. Studies reveal that communication with one's circle is therefore often arduous, leading us to believe that it can cause suffering. To our knowledge, there has been no research that specifically explores the suffering related to communication among older women with incurable cancer: this will be the objective of our article.This exploratory qualitative research is in humanistic psychology. It is based on a phenomenological analysis of the conceptual categories that emerged from 19 semi-structured interviews among 10 women aged 65 years and over with incurable cancer.The results reveal both the dynamic of silence, desired in order to prevent increased suffering, and sometimes imposed and a source of further suffering. They also reveal that the absence of listening, the imposition of silence, and the minimization of what these women say, also cause suffering. The consequences of disclosing one's illness and its suffering are also explored.
