Abstract:

Cancer survivors often suffer from psycho-social problems as a consequence of
side effects of treatment and fear of recurrence of the disease. Although
there is wide consensus that this kind of distress has a negative effect on
health and healing, the discussion of emotional problems does not routinely
occur in follow-up cancer consultations.

This thesis investigates the interaction between doctors and patients in a
corpus of scheduled head-and-neck cancer follow-up consultations in a cancer
centre in The Netherlands, with a focus on the effects of the introduction of
the Distress Thermometer and Problem List (DT+PL) as a tool to further the
discussion of psychosocial distress.

The multi-method design of the study, including insights from ethnography of
communication and discourse analysis (more specifically conversation analysis
and linguistic pragmatics), combines interviews with doctors and patients
reflecting on the follow-up head-and-neck cancer consultation with a
qualitative analysis of video-recorded consultations and descriptive
quantitative data on discursive patterns that surfaced in the interactions.
This broad design made it possible to trace not just what issues are discussed
in the consultation and how frequently they are discussed, but also how the
participants co-construct the interaction, what contextual parameters
influence this, how the DT+PL affects all this, and how doctors and patients
view the follow-up consultation and the DT+PL.
