Impact of the Lack of Diversity Within Surgery Career Pathways and Mitigating Factors

Erica Sutton et al.

Summary: The lack of diversity in surgical career pathways affects the cultural competence of the learning and working environment, the variety of leadership styles within surgical leadership, and equity in the workplace.

Influence of migrant background on patient preference and expectations in breast and gynecological malignancies (NOGGO-expression V study): results of a prospective multicentre study in 606 patients in Germany

D. Dimitrova et al.

Summary: Effective cross-cultural doctor-patient communication is crucial for health literacy and patient compliance, and building a good relationship with medical staff is important for cancer patient treatment decision-making. Studies on the preferences and expectations of patients with a migrant background are lacking, so a multicentre survey was conducted to explore the needs and preferences of these patients. Results showed that most migrants and non-migrants were satisfied with doctor-patient communication, but there were differences in clinical trial participation information and the need for interpreter assistance among first-generation migrants and breast cancer patients. Second and third-generation migrants reported experiencing more fatigue and nausea than expected. Training medical staff in intercultural competence and providing disease-related information in different languages could potentially improve supportive care management and quality of life for cancer patients with migrant status.
