Abstract

This paper presents the results of research devoted to parents' opinions concerning the relationship established between attending physicians and patients treated due to cancer. The analyzed research material was collected with the use of a diagnostic survey. The survey was carried out using a questionnaire modelled on the tool designed by Aleksandra Barczak and Sylwia Kołtan. The study was conducted in three Clinics of Paediatric Oncology and Haematology in Poland that are supervised by the Polish Paediatric Leukaemia and Lymphoma Study Group. The analysis of the collected research material indicates that parents assess the physician - cancer patient relationship positively. Observations made during earlier studies and interviews with parents of oncology patients point to a friendly, and in some cases even familial setting of Departments of Paediatric Oncology and Haematology.
