Results

At the follow-up survey, the performance scores of the IG improved significantly, in terms of their emotional support (p=0.011), setting up a supportive environment (p=0.002), and ability to deliver information (p=0.001), compared with those of the CG. Oncologists in the IG rated higher at follow-up than the CG in terms of their confidence in themselves (p=0.001). In addition, patients who had met oncologists after the CST were significantly less depressed than those of the CG (p=0.027). The CST program did not, however, impact patient satisfaction with their oncologists' style of communication.
