Abstract

Introduction: One of the main challenges regarding the patients with cancer, is to inform them about theirdisease. The aim of this study was to evaluate outlooks and experiences of medical and dental staff experts inKerman, Iran, regarding the method of informing the diagnosis of head and neck (HN) cancer to patients andtheir relatives. Method: In this qualitative study, the data were obtained through deep interviews, and focus groupdiscussions. The target groups were faculty members of the departments of oral MEDICINE, oral andmaxillo-facial surgery, and oncology, nurses of the departments of oral diseases and oncology, andpostgraduate students of the department of oral MEDICINE in Kerman university of Medical Sciences, Kerman, Iran (25 individuals). Aim-based sampling was carried out and continued till the saturation ofdata. The data were analyzed using content analysis method. Results: Two major classifications were derived. “ Truth-telling improving factors” of them, “ giving thepatients an opportunity for decision making for treatment plan” was the most important factor; and “ truthtellingavoiding factors” of them, "close relatives insist to avoid telling the truth to the patients” was themost important factor. Conclusion: In spite of the fact that most of the interviewees believed in telling the truth to the patients, practitioners should consider several factors such as patient's family preference, as well as patients’ anxiety and physical and psychological conditions. It would be reasonable if health care workers train todeal with the patients having cancer.
