Previous research describes the diagnostic process as a complex journey with uncertainty. Nonetheless, the importance of contact and interaction between patient and HCPs during the diagnostic process is rarely explored.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study adopted a qualitative design in which semi\u2010structured interviews were conducted and the COREQ\u2010checklist for qualitative studies employed (EQUATOR guidelines).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A sample of 30 patients (15 women, 15 men) diagnosed with melanoma was included. Secondary analysis of interviews was carried out using qualitative content analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>One theme emerged: Wishing to be perceived as a capable and resourceful person that consisted of three categories: (a) The need of being valued, (b) The need of being informed and (c) The need of taking actions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results suggest that patients wish to be valued as capable and resourceful persons as well as to be provided with honest and sufficient information about the diagnosis and subsequent procedures. By fulfilling these wishes, HCPs can involve patients in the diagnostic process and reduce patients\u2019 uncertainty. A need of supportive and accessible health care to manage the diagnostic process and to reduce patients\u2019 struggle for care was also identified.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Relevance to the clinical practice<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients are satisfied when health care is organised in a patient\u2010\/person\u2010centred manner, that is, in accordance with patients\u2019 needs, avoiding gatekeeping, and when HCPs interact respectfully in encounters. Accessible HCPs during the diagnostic process of melanoma are required to inform, support and navigate patients within the healthcare system and through their diagnostic journey.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.14730","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,14]],"date-time":"2018-12-14T14:29:07Z","timestamp":1544797747000},"page":"1223-1232","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Wishing to be perceived as a capable and resourceful person\u2014A qualitative study of melanoma patients\u2019 experiences of the contact and interaction with healthcare professionals"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4212-8080","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cecilia","family":"Hultstrand Ahlin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Ume\u00e5 University Ume\u00e5 Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00c5sa","family":"H\u00f6rnsten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Ume\u00e5 University Ume\u00e5 Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna\u2010Britt","family":"Coe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology Ume\u00e5 University Ume\u00e5 Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mikael","family":"Lilja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Clinical Medicine, Unit of Research Education, and Development, \u00d6stersund Hospital, Ume\u00e5 University  Ume\u00e5 Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Senada","family":"Hajdarevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Ume\u00e5 University Ume\u00e5 Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Public Health and Clinical Medicine, Family Medicine Ume\u00e5 University  Ume\u00e5 Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ecc.12384"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjps.2005.01.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10410236.2016.1250707"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.15148"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.12758"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1049732311405798"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13187-013-0603-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamadermatol.2014.5634"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2648.2009.05210.x"},{"issue":"10","key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","first-page":"821","article-title":"Patients\u2019 experiences with continuity of cancer care in Canada: Results from the CanIMPACT study","volume":"62","author":"Easley J.","year":"2016","journal-title":"Canadian Family Physician"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/jhsrp.2011.011029"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.2009.24.6389"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejca.2016.05.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21409"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nedt.2003.10.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2702.2011.03788.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1752-9824.2010.01057.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_19_1","unstructured":"Hajdarevic S.(2012).Patient and health care delays in malignant melanoma[doctoral thesis N.S. 1485).Ume\u00e5:Ume\u00e5 University Medical Faculty.
