Understanding the marital self-disclosure experience during chemotherapy for gastric cancer: a qualitative study
Nurses should recognize the importance of communication between spouses during chemotherapy for gastric cancer patients. Positive interventions should be adopted to alleviate one-sided, conflictual communication and avoidance behaviors. Nurses should focus on personalized communication issues, identify barriers to disclosure promptly, and provide tailored care. Furthermore, patient case management should be emphasized to facilitate the development of more effective communication strategies.
