Perceptions of cancer by patients: a student project

RD Voltz

University of Birmingham

Twenty-two patients with advanced cancer, in a hospice and on the oncology ward of a teaching hospital, were interviewed by a medical student. Two patients were distressed by the interview, but the others gave useful information about their knowledge of and attitude towards their disease. Interviewing dying patients can be a valuable and positive experience for medical students.

Key Words: attitude to death • attitude to health • interviews • medical education • neoplasms • undergraduate education
