Decision making takes place in all aspects of veterinary care. Throughout any consultation, work up, hospitalisation or ongoing home care, decisions need to be made about the next step to be taken. Clinical decision making is influenced by many different factors including past experience, emotions, owner wishes, financial concerns and communication skills. Within the veterinary team, it is important that everyone understands the factors influencing decisions. Decision making can follow a paternalistic, guardian or shared approach, which tends to be dominant in veterinary practice. Where practices adopt standard operating procedures, the use of clinical evidence and clear non-biased decisions need to be made.

ABSTRACTThis paper analyzes one of the challenges facing education today; "academic literacy", its components and some factors influencing its execution in classrooms where “hard subjects” related to engineering are taught. The proposal for a possible solution is to carry out a process of raising awareness on communication skills among teachers who teach those subjects, as part of a reflexive process. Ongoing training is essential and must be volitional. This issue is a relevant connotation and is considered an unavoidable necessity in institutions of higher education in Mexico.RESUMENEn este trabajo se analiza uno de los desafíos a los que se enfrenta la educación superior en la actualidad, la “alfabetización académica”, sus componentes y algunos factores que influyen en su implementación en las aulas donde se imparten asignaturas relacionadas con la ingeniería. La propuesta para su posible solución es llevar a cabo un proceso de sensibilización hacia las competencias comunicativas entre los docentes que imparten las llamadas asignaturas duras, como parte de un proceso reflexivo y continuo de formación, que es imprescindible y debe ser volitivo. Este tema tiene una connotación relevante por considerarse una necesidad ineludible en las instituciones de educación superior en México. Contacto principal: [email protected]

Background: Establishing appropriate communication with cancer patients is necessary to make decisions for them and involve them in the care process to prevent the adverse consequences of cancer treatment. Thus, the qualitative study on the challenges experienced by oncology nurses can lead to a better understanding of these challenges and help these nurses acquire advanced communication skills. Objectives: This study was conducted to explain the communication challenges experienced by oncology nurses during providing care to cancer patients by applying a qualitative content analysis approach. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted with the participation of 18 nurses who were selected by the purposive sampling method, working in the oncology departments of Iran’s hospitals in 2021. Semi-structured interviews were held for data collection. After transcribing the interviews, data analysis was performed using the Granheim and Landman (2004) method. The MAXQDA software (2020) was used for data management. The criteria proposed by Lincoln and Guba were used to assure data accuracy and reliability. Results: Thirty subcategories, eight categories, and four themes were extracted following data analysis. The themes included the nurse’s close relationship with cancer patients as a double-edged sword, curvy and sinusoidal professional communication for oncology nurses, relationship with an opposite-gender patient as a missing factor in nursing care, and marginalization of relationships during the coronavirus pandemic. Conclusions: Nurses’ challenges in communicating with cancer patients can be reduced by improving their communication skills via various strategies, including empowering nurses by employing cognitive empathy and using communication models such as the Comfort model.
