摘要

Cancer screening guidelines aim for early detection but frequently face low patient adherence. This issue arises primarily from patient-provider interactions overly focused on procedural checklists, neglecting emotional and personal concerns. Effective screening discussions necessitate deeper communication, empathy, reflective listening, and narrative medicine—skills often missing in traditional clinical education. Integrating narrative approaches helps uncover patient anxieties, empowers decision-making, and enhances screening uptake. Additionally, shifting practice-level structures to prioritise meaningful conversations and employing technology thoughtfully can significantly improve patient engagement. Transforming cancer screening dialogues from checklist-driven interactions into emotionally intelligent conversations fosters trust, personal agency, and improved health outcomes.
