遗传风险信息的交流充满了困难，临床实践也没有普遍接受的指导方针。在本文中，我们认为，信息处理模型可能会提供一些指导遗传风险的沟通。本文回顾了健康和社会心理学的文献，包括对威胁健康信息的防御反应，扩展平行过程模型（EPPM）和自我肯定理论。最后，它提出了启发式系统模型（HSM）的信息处理作为一个有用的角度来看，遗传风险的沟通。通过我们对这一文献的回顾，我们确定了一些变量，发现影响风险信息的系统或启发式处理，并注意到它们的相关性遗传咨询环境。我们认为，系统的信息处理有利于知情的决策，以及提高对风险信息的理解。临床实践的影响，从我们的审查这些文献中指出。
Communicating genetic-risk information is fraught with difficulties, and there are no universally accepted guidelines for clinical practice. In this paper, we suggest that information-processing models may offer some guidance for the communication of genetic risk. The paper reviews selected literature from health and social psychology, including defensive reactions to threatening health information, the Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM) and Self Affirmation Theory. Ultimately, it presents the Heuristic-Systematic Model (HSM) of information processing as a useful perspective from which to view genetic-risk communication. Through our review of this literature, we identify some of the variables found to influence the systematic or heuristic processing of risk information and note their relevance to genetic counseling contexts. We suggest that systematic information processing is conducive to informed decision-making, as well as improved understanding of risk information. Clinical practice implications derived from our review of these literatures are noted.
