<i>It's Normal.</i> Untrustworthy Memorable Messages in Formal Caregiving for Breast Cancer Patients
These results enrich the studies on memorable messages, enhancing the understanding of communication behaviors in triggering distrust toward doctors. Although patients are aware that doctors are overworked, they expect care, attention, individual approach, understanding, and empathy. However, doctors sometimes give untrustworthy memorable messages - especially messages perceived as dismissive, harmful, inadequate, or absent although expected - throughout the cancer trajectory. Thus, greater attention should be given to eliminating untrustworthy memorable messages, improving the understanding of trust dynamics in oncology, psycho-oncology and health education.
