Аннотация

Целью данного исследования было повторить и расширить более ранние исследования, посвященные изучению понимания неспециалистами терминов, связанных с раком, в узбекской выборке путем изучения понимания общих терминов, касающихся диагностики, прогноза, лечения, а также экспериментального исследования влияния медицинского жаргона по сравнению с простым языком о восприятии людьми эффективности взаимодействия с онкологами, участия в принятии медицинских решений и межличностного доверия.

Ushbu tadqiqotning maqsadi tashxislash, bashorat qilish va davolash bilan bog‘liq umumiy atamalarni tushunish va tibbiy jargon ta’sirini eksperimental o‘rganish orqali o‘zbek tili lug‘atidagi odamlarning saraton bilan bog‘liq atamalarni tushunishini o‘rganuvchi oldingi tadqiqotlarni takrorlash va kengaytirish. Odamlarning onkolog shifokorlar bilan o‘zaro munosabatlarning samaradorligi, tibbiy qarorlar qabul qilishda ishtirok etishi va shaxslararo ishonch haqidagi tasavvurlarini kengaytirishida umumiy til shakllanishidagi rolini oshirishga qaratiladi. Cancer patients often misunderstand their diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment options. This lack of understanding may be due to the complexity of information and the emotional nature of cancer consultations. However, it can also be a result of the language doctors use, including euphemisms, vague words, and medical jargon. Chapman examined lay people’s understanding of cancer- related terms that oncologists use when discussing cancer diagnosis and prognosis with their patients and found that understanding was suboptimal and inconsistent. 433 “Arab tili globallashuv davrida: innovatsion yondoshuvlar va o‘qitish metodikasi” mavzusidagi xalqaro ilmiy-amaliy anjuman Limited patient understanding can hinder effective physician-patient communication in a variety of ways. First, the use of jargon, such as technical terms or ambiguous language, can reduce the effectiveness of patients actively interacting with their oncologist and participating in decision-making. For example, patients’ overall understanding of health information, that is, their health literacy, has been shown to be positively associated with patient engagement during consultation. Limited participation in consultation and decision-making has been reported to be associated with negative consequences, such as receiving less information and lower quality of life. Moreover, it was shown that patients with low levels of perceived self- efficacy were less satisfied with the consultation. Second, the use of unclear and incomplete information may reduce patients’ trust in their oncologist. A recent review found that low levels of trust complicate communication and decision- making and negatively impact patient outcomes such as psychological well-being. The present study primarily aims to replicate and extend the descriptive study of Chapman in a large sample in the UK, examining lay people’s understanding of terms related to diagnosis, treatment and prognosis, and statistics. Second, we sought to experimentally examine the impact of language use (jargon versus plain) on laypersons’ perceptions of the effectiveness of interactions with an oncologist, participation in medical decision making, and trust. Third, we sought to examine whether the possible effect of language on outcomes would be moderated by people’s confidence in understanding cancer- related terms. One hundred and eighty lay participants completed a questionnaire assessing comprehension, confidence in understanding, and anxiety after reading 20 scenarios representing cancer-related terms and perceived communication effectiveness, decision-making effectiveness, and trust in a brief case study depicting an oncologist. using jargon or simple language. Individuals meeting the criteria were invited to participate and were informed of the purpose and procedure of the study. After verbal consent was obtained, participants were seated and asked to complete the questionnaire. The researcher alternated slang and simple versions of the questionnaire. Care was taken to ensure that participants did not search for information when completing the questionnaire. The institutional ethics board approved the study. Participants were asked to indicate whether they believed that their knowledge about cancer was above average due to having experience with cancer in their personal life (yes/no) or through education or work (yes/no)). In addition, participants reported their age, gender and level of education. Educational level was classified as low (primary/low vocational; 15 years). The questionnaire asked participants to imagine that they were a cancer patient. To assess comprehension, 20 short scenarios were presented in which 434 “Arab tili globallashuv davrida: innovatsion yondoshuvlar va o‘qitish metodikasi” mavzusidagi xal
