Randomized Controlled Trial
Evaluation of an integrated communication skills training program for nurses in cancer care in Beijing, China.
Nurses have considerable needs for communication skills training in cancer care because of the general lack of education and training on oncology-specific communication skills in Mainland China. ⋯ Nurses' communication skills could be developed and consolidated under the integrated communication skills training model. Development of effective interventions to change nurses' negative outcome expectancies in communication with cancer patients is needed in further study.
