From business to caring: the conceptualisation of holistic coaching for cancer patients
Coaching in healthcare is a growing topic within research and practise but there has been little exploration of its theoretical underpinnings for cancer patients. This review covers current health coaching research, illness identity, and communication processes to highlight how coaching holistically (placing emphasis on values and narrative over behavioural models) is appropriate for cancer patients facing uncertainty and changes in their life. A conceptual framework for Holistic Coaching in Cancer and a set of coaching values are provided as a theoretical underpinning for coaching this population. Future research directions are also discussed.

Abstract

Coaching in healthcare is a growing topic within research and practise but there has been little exploration of its theoretical underpinnings for cancer patients. This review covers current health coaching research, illness identity, and communication processes to highlight how coaching holistically (placing emphasis on values and narrative over behavioural models) is appropriate for cancer patients facing uncertainty and changes in their life. A conceptual framework for Holistic Coaching in Cancer and a set of coaching values are provided as a theoretical underpinning for coaching this population. Future research directions are also discussed.
