Introduction
The aim of this study was to clarify students knowledge and emotional feelings about words used in the announcement of cancer diagnoses. Method A total of 465 students registered in a higher education institution rated familiarity, valence and arousal, and responded to questions about the definition and the contextual use of 20 cancer-related target words. Results The words were estimated as being unfamiliar and negative, and were poorly defined by the majority of students. Many of these indicators varied according to whether the students reported having a relative diagnosed with cancer, and to their level of vocabulary. Discussion This study provides explanatory leads that should help to shed light on the nature of the difficulties students have in understanding medical messages. |
