The degree to which companions participate varies, ranging from passive observer to active advocate. However, the structure of the medical interaction often promotes dyadic rather than triadic communication, creating ambiguity about to the degree to which companions can and should participate. Participants (N = 34, 16 dyads) included gynecologic cancer patients who were undergoing chemotherapy treatment (n = 18) and their companions (n = 16); all participants were separately interviewed. Interviews included discussion of dyadic communication patterns within medical interactions. The normative rhetorical theory (Goldsmith, 2019) was applied as a guiding framework. Patients discussed the dilemma they experience when companions are expected but absent. Patients and companions provided positive reports of companion communication when behavior aligned with expectations. Alternatively, patients and companions experience dilemmas when companions participate more than or differently from how patients and/or companions had expected. Companions provided one strategy for managing the dilemma of how to participate in medical interactions. Implications and limitations are discussed.</p></div></div> <div class="rendering rendering_researchoutput rendering_researchoutput_detailsportal rendering_contributiontojournal rendering_detailsportal rendering_contributiontojournal_detailsportal"><div class="article"><table class="properties"><tbody><tr class="language"><th scope="row">Original language</th><td>English (US)</td></tr><tr><th scope="row">Pages (from-to)</th><td>876-887</td></tr><tr class="numberofpages"><th scope="row">Number of pages</th><td>12</td></tr><tr><th scope="row">Journal</th><td><a rel="Journal" href="#" class="link"><span>Health Communication</span></a></td></tr><tr><th scope="row">Volume</th><td>39</td></tr><tr><th scope="row">Issue number</th><td>5</td></tr><tr class="digital_object_identifiers"><th scope="row">DOIs</th><td><ul class="relations digital_object_identifiers"><li><a onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank','noopener,noreferrer'); return false;" href="https://doi.org/10.1080/10410236.2023.2190244" class="link"><span>https://doi.org/10.1080/10410236.2023.2190244</span></a> </li></ul></td></tr><tr class="status"><th scope="row">State</th><td><span class="prefix">Published - </span><span class="date">2024</span></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div> <div class="rendering rendering_keywordable rendering_expertkeywordgrouspbytypeportal rendering_keywordable_expertkeywordgrouspbytypeportal"><div class="keyword-group"><h2 class="subheader">All Science Journal Classification (ASJC) codes</h2><ul class="relations keywords"><li><span>Health(social science)</span></li><li><span>Communication</span></li></ul></div></div> </div> <div class="content-sidebar publication-sidebar"> <h2 class="subheader">Access to Document</h2> <div class="rendering rendering_researchoutput rendering_researchoutput_publicationaccessrenderer rendering_contributiontojournal rendering_publicationaccessrenderer rendering_contributiontojournal_publicationaccessrenderer"><ul class="dois"><li><div class="doi"><a onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank','noopener,noreferrer'); return false;" href="https://doi.org/10.1080/10410236.2023.2190244" class="link"><span>10.1080/10410236.2023.2190244</span></a></div></li></ul></div> <h2 class="subheader">Other files and links</h2> <div class="rendering rendering_researchoutput rendering_researchoutput_publicationotherfilesandlinksrenderer rendering_contributiontojournal rendering_publicationotherfilesandlinksrenderer rendering_contributiontojournal_publicationotherfilesandlinksrenderer"><ul class="links"><li><div class="link"><a onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank','noopener,noreferrer'); return false;" href="http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85150863895&partnerID=8YFLogxK" class="link"><span>Link to publication in Scopus</span></a></div></li><li><div class="link"><a onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank','noopener,noreferrer'); return false;" href="http://www.scopus.com/inward/citedby.url?scp=85150863895&partnerID=8YFLogxK" class="link"><span>Link to the citations in Scopus</span></a></div></li></ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="page-section content-relation-section publication-fingerprint"> <div class="container"> <div class="header"> <h2 class="section-title"> <i class="icon icon-fingerprint" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="title">Fingerprint</span> </h2> <span class="sub-title"> Dive into the research topics of 'Dilemmas and Strategy When Companion Participation During Appointments Differs from Patient and Companion Expectations'.
