Purpose: To explore the essential elements of patient education methods for promoting resilience among adult cancer patients.

Methods: The PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL and PsycInfo databases were searched fromJanuary 2010 to April 2021. The outcome of interest was resilience. The integrative review applied the PRISMA statement guidelines.

Results: Nine studies were identified, which formed three main patient education strategies that fell under categories: 1. Provision of illness-related information 2. Learning self-management skills 3. Provision of emotional support and the adjustment process. The key elements include promotion of positive factors, easing patients' mental burden, highlighting the importance of illness-related information, developing self-management skills, and emotional support. Interventions prepared patients for the future, enhanced their understanding of illness and recovery process, and comfort in physical and mental aspects of life, and improved their resilience.

Conclusions: Resilience among cancer patients is a process that helps them adjust to live with cancer. The provision of psychosocial support and illness-related information, as well as learning self-management skills, are essential elements of patient education interventions that aim to improve resilience among adult cancer patients.

Prudent Physician Anger in Patient-Physician Interactions.

Health Care Anal

January 2025

Department of General Practice and Primary Health Care, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand.

This paper questions the conventional wisdom that physicians must suppress anger in response to patient misbehaviour. It distinguishes the emotion of anger from its expression, which leans toward concerned frustration and disappointment for the sake of professionalism in patient care. Drawing on the framework of person-centred health care as a virtue ethic, the paper first suggests four reasons why and when physician anger toward patient behaviour may occasionally be appropriate: the inevitability of sometimes feeling angry, anger as a cognitive and behavioural resource, physician well-being, and potential patient benefit.
