Posted on September 12, 2018 by. In the study of Periyakoli et al. (2015) doctors reported on the difficulty of end of life conversations with diverse patients. Several different barriers resulted in doctors having difficulty in communicating with these patients, for example, language and medical interpretation difficulty, doctors lack of understanding about the patients culture and beliefs, and lastly cultural beliefs influencing the patients decision.
