Abstract

Cancer patients often face enormous and unbearable psychological pain during the treatment process. This paper uses data collection, online questionnaires, interviews with patients and their families and other methods to carry out in-depth research on cancer patients, to learn the subjective feelings of patients and their families, and to analyze the main factors that cause patients' suffering. Through the survey data, it is found that the proportion of patients' psychological pain is greater than that of physical pain, and it is more difficult to express and understand. Among them, poor emotional communication between patients and their families is one of the factors that constitute psychological distress. How to mobilize multiple senses to display the psychological pain threshold of cancer patients, convey patients' emotions, and promote empathy between patients and their families is the direction of research and exploration in this paper. After research, this paper proposes a method that uses taste as a perceptual channel, and expresses psychological pain as the bitterness of taste, so as to enhance the empathy between patients and relatives, and has carried out experimental verification. The research provides a new idea for improving the quality of communication between patients and others, alleviating the psychological pain of cancer patients, enhancing social groups' understanding of cancer patients and subsequent product design.
