The former non-maleficence approach to diagnosis delivery has been replaced with the one based on the bioethical principle of patient autonomy obliging physicians to reveal information truthfully and completely. The current bioethical approach has been refined to develop a number of protocols used for effective delivery of negative diagnostic information. However, alongside with the protocols building on this principle, alternative ways of diagnosis disclosure and patterns of diagnosis breaking are practised. The latter rest on culture specific norms, which are followed to balance the principles of non-maleficence and patient autonomy.</p> <p><bold>Conclusion: </bold>The rationale behind the selection of the best approach to diagnostic disclosure has to rest not only on the dominant bioethical principle, but also align with the sociocultural norms as this is the way to ensure greater flexibility, variability and optionality and achieve better management outcomes.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Цель. </bold>Проведение анализа различных подходов к сообщению диагностической информации, рассматриваемых в рамках биоэтического, социокультурного, психоэмоционального и социолингвистического контекстов.</p> <p><bold>Результаты. </bold>Сообщение диагностической информации относят к одной из наиболее сложных составляющих коммуникации «врач – пациент», так как оно сопряжено со сложными биоэтическими, правовыми, социокультурными и психоэмоциональными противоречиями и проблемами. В настоящее время применяемый ранее подход, основанный на этическом принципе «не навреди», сменился другим, базирующемся на биоэтическом принципе автономии пациента, который обязывает врача сообщать информацию пациенту правдиво и в полном объеме. В ходе усовершенствования настоящего подхода был разработан ряд протоколов для эффективной передачи негативной диагностической информации. Тем не менее, наряду с протоколами, основанными на данном принципе, на практике широко применяются альтернативные способы и модели информирования о заболевании. Последние создаются исходя из социокультурных норм, следование которым направлено на достижение оптимального баланса между принципами непричинения вреда и автономии пациента.</p> <p><bold>Заключение. </bold>При выборе наилучшего подхода к сообщению диагностической информации необходимо исходить не только из доминирующего в данную эпоху биоэтического принципа, но и учитывать социокультурные нормы. Именно таким образом можно добиться наибольшей гибкости, опциональности и адаптивности применяемого подхода, а также обеспечить наилучшие результаты в ходе оказания медицинской помощи.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>diagnosis disclosure</kwd><kwd>non-maleficence principle</kwd><kwd>patient autonomy</kwd><kwd>culture specific approach</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>сообщение диагноза</kwd><kwd>принцип непричинения вреда</kwd><kwd>автономия пациента</kwd><kwd>социокультурный подход</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Buckman R.
