Communicative characteristics of interactions between surgeons and Chinese women with breast cancer in oncology consultation
BACKGROUND: While previous studies have analysed features of interaction in cancer consultations using observational coding frames, relatively little attention is being given to how actual interactions are sequentially organized and achieved by participants in the course of talk-in-interaction. Research into the interactional practices in consultations, which involves Chinese patients, is largely absent. OBJECTIVE: To provide insight into the tal…
Psychometric assessment of the C hinese version of the decisional conflict scale in C hinese women making decision for breast cancer surgery

Development and pilot-testing of a Decision Aid for use among Chinese women facing breast cancer surgery
BACKGROUND: Women choosing breast cancer surgery encounter treatment decision-making (TDM) difficulties, which can cause psychological distress.

AIMS: Conduct a pilot study to assess the DA acceptability and utility among Chinese wom…

These principles concern phonological and semantic representation in written Chinese. Regressions showed that knowledge about phonological representation predicted reading aloud in both Chinese and English. Understanding of semantic representation predi…
