Triadic communication with teenagers and young adults with cancer: a systematic literature review - 'make me feel like I'm not the third person'.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Clinical communication needs of teenagers and young adults with cancer (TYACs) are increasingly recognised to differ significantly from younger children and older adults. We sought to understand who is present with TYACs, TYACs' experiences of triadic communication and its impact. We generated three research questions to focus this review: (1) Who is present with TYACs in healthcare consultations/communication?, (2) What are TYACs' experiences of communication with the supporter present? and (3) What is the impact of a TYAC's supporter being present in the communication?

Design

Systematic review with narrative synthesis.

Data sources

The search was conducted across six databases: Medline, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science and AMED for all publication
