Learning outcomes
One of the most critical aspects in the control of neoplastic disease is the communication and psychological involvement of the patient and family. After completing this course, students learn how to approach the patient with cancer and to frame his problems in the social context both during the communication of the disease and in the clinical course until the terminal stage.
Course contents
The module tends to promote the effective communication skills, active listening, reflective practices and creative techniques developed both by Medical Humanities and 'narrative medicine'. Furthermore, the module aims at introducing the core constructs of pedagogy of health such as the care relationship, professional reflexivity and accountability in healthcare contexts. In fact, a multidisciplinary approach facilitates healthcare professionals’ and caregivers to take care of their relational and emotional dimension, preventing demotivation (or burnout) and promoting personal and social wellbeing.
