Abstract:
Objective:To systematically analyze the definition, development, conceptual application, characteristic attributes, extension, and similar concepts of family avoidance of communication about cancer through the conceptual analysis method, so as to clarify the conceptual connotation of family avoidance of communication about cancer.Methods:Literature on family avoidance of communication about cancer was searched in WanFang Data, VIP, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biomedical Database, CINAHL, Embase, PubMed, PsycINFO and so on. The search period was from database establishment to December 31, 2023. Walker and Avant's conceptual analysis method was used for analysis.Results:Through a compilation and analysis of relevant literature, the conceptual characteristics of family avoidance of communication about cancer were summarized, including bidirectional influence (both the cancer patient and family members tend to conceal their self-emotions and influence each other), information concealment (lack of communicative behaviors on both sides) and the desire to protection (aiming to hopefully protect each other) .Conclusions:The conceptual attributes of family avoidance of communication about cancer compiled can provide a basis for the proper understanding of related concepts within the subject area and provide conceptual support for the practice and research of family avoidance of communication about cancer.
