Relationships Between Clinician-Patient Communication and the Quality of Life of Patients With Leukaemia: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Global Study
2026
Overview
Why this research matters: Leukaemia is a type of blood cancer. It can make people feel tired, worried, and alone. Doctors can help by talking clearly and kindly to patients. What we did: Our study looked at how good communication between doctors and patients affects how people with leukaemia feel in their daily lives. We asked people to fill out an online survey, and over 2,000 with leukaemia from 64 countries replied. Our survey asked about people’s diagnosis, treatment, and how well doctors explained things. We included a tool called HM-PRO, which measures how leukaemia affects someone’s life. We used statistics and computer models to find patterns in the answers. What we found: Patients who said their doctors gave clear information and involved them in decisions felt better overall. Younger patients and people with fast-growing types of leukaemia reported more problems. We found that feeling depressed or lonely were key to overall scores of the HM-PRO, but our models were not as accurate as we would want. What this means: There is more work to be done to develop better models, but our work suggests that doctors can help patients feel better by giving clear information and listening to their views. Talking kindly and involving patients in decisions can reduce stress and improve wellbeing. This is especially important for younger people. Hospitals and support groups can use these findings to improve care and make sure patients get the help they need.
