This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer survivors have strong personal desires to resume work to feel productive and meet financial needs. However, they may be faced with physical and psychological challenges. This research aims to: examine cancer survivors' perspectives on supports needed when returning to work; investigate sex and gender differences when returning to work; and explore demographic and employment factors that may influence this process. An exploratory qualitative design was used. The study had two phases: focus groups and one-on-one semi-structured interviews. Inductive thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The total sample includes 15 participants, 87% female and 13% male. Key themes include: changing perspectives on self and work; managing work and social systems; determining disclosure and accommodation; and the importance of supports for return to work and daily life. This study informs cancer rehabilitation research by developing an understanding of the supports needed to help cancer survivors return to work successfully.

Book excerpt: Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality in the United States, affecting more than 13 million individuals it has impacted the lives of a significant proportion of the population. With improvements in detection and treatment there have been more early diagnoses and improved prognosis for many survivors. These positive changes have led to an increase in the number of survivors that continue to work through diagnosis and treatment and or return to work. There are an estimated 7.5 million working survivors in the US, though their proportions vary by occupational sectors. With occupational differences in workplace accommodations and perceived disparities in the motivation for re-entering the workforce, this dissertation examined health disparities among cancer survivors in the US workforce. Focusing on the under-explored associations among this special US worker population, we investigated disparities in health behaviors pertinent to health post diagnosis, such as cancer screening; and examined differences in indicators of health ( such as; functional limitation, psychological distress, number of days in bed and reported health status). Most importantly differences were stratified by occupation and health insurance which are the main factors reinforcing health behaviors and return to work among survivors. Using data from the 1997-2010 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), we found that approximately 91.0% of working survivors reported having health insurance. This is higher than the 86.0% of insured persons without a history of cancer. We also found that while a large proportion of persons without a history of cancer reported having private insurance (71.1%) compared to working survivors (62.6%), adjustments for increased age associated with diagnosis decreased the difference between both working groups. Health insurance appears to partially mediate the relationship between cancer status and employment, as such, understanding the distribution of the type of insurance available to workers within occupational sectors is important to wellness-programs targeting this special group of workers. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590), passed by the 111th US Congress under President Barack Obama in December 2009 has shown promise of being beneficial to cancer survivors. With exclusions for preexisting conditions such as cancer and insurance rates based accordingly, this bill will allow working cancer survivors to secure health insurance in new jobs that are more amenable to their physical and mental capabilities post diagnosis. With a multitude of studies on working survivors concentrated on European populations, this dissertation sought to fill a research gap in exploring the existing health disparities among working cancer survivors within the US. Recognizing the diverse population of working survivors in the US and cognizant of the health disparities that exist among occupational sectors the findings from this research can further inform public policy aimed at the this worker population.
Book Synopsis Cancer Care for the Whole Patient by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Cancer Care for the Whole Patient written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-03-19 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer care today often provides state-of-the-science biomedical treatment, but fails to address the psychological and social (psychosocial) problems associated with the illness. This failure can compromise the effectiveness of health care and thereby adversely affect the health of cancer patients. Psychological and social problems created or exacerbated by cancer-including depression and other emotional problems; lack of information or skills needed to manage the illness; lack of transportation or other resources; and disruptions in work, school, and family life-cause additional suffering, weaken adherence to prescribed treatments, and threaten patients' return to health. Today, it is not possible to deliver high-quality cancer care without using existing approaches, tools, and resources to address patients' psychosocial health needs. All patients with cancer and their families should expect and receive cancer care that ensures the provision of appropriate psychosocial health services. Cancer Care for the Whole Patient recommends actions that oncology providers, health policy makers, educators, health insurers, health planners, researchers and research sponsors, and consumer advocates should undertake to ensure that this standard is met.

Book Synopsis More Than Survival by : Theresa Martin
Download or read book More Than Survival written by Theresa Martin and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of cancer survivors is increasing. However, healthcare lacks standardized guidelines in providing post-treatment, cancer survivorship care. Research is not dedicated to adult cancer survivors and their experiences in survivorship. Rural areas are less likely to have survivorship services resulting in unmet needs. Cancer survivors have higher risks of physical and mental health problems due to cancer treatments received and need follow-up care. This original exploratory investigation analyzed quantitative and qualitative survey data among local rural, small community cancer survivors utilizing services from the Meredith and Jeannie Ray Cancer Center in Laramie, WY. Sixty-two cancer survivors (40.3%) participated in the study. Respondents identified over twenty “needs” in their survivorship health care to be met and addressed. Other results indicated positive adjustment, well-being, and post-traumatic growth from their cancer experiences. Future research should investigate who/how meets these needs and continue investigating other rural areas without local access to oncology care.

Book Synopsis Supported Self-management by : Inga O'Brien
Download or read book Supported Self-management written by Inga O'Brien and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More people are living with, through and beyond cancer which makes cancer survivorship an increasingly important area of public health focus. Cancer survivors manage cancer and treatment-related health impacts and life complexity during and post-treatment. These cancer-related impacts, whether visible or invisible, can cause intermittent yet considerable problems. Cancer survivorship research explores ways to improve care and management for people living with, through or beyond cancer. Evidence-based intervention is a fruitful area for cancer survivorship research. Intervention can inform survivorship care pathways. Chronic care approaches have not been adequately explored as a basis for survivorship intervention. Using Te Whare Tapa Wha and Wagner’s Chronic Care Model as theoretical frameworks, the application of supported self-management programs in cancer care is explored herein. This thesis reports on survivorship experiences and a pilot study of a supported self-management intervention program for cancer survivors in New Zealand (NZ). Background: The objectives of this thesis are to report on NZ cancer survivors’ experiences and explore the acceptability, feasibility and pilot delivery of a supported self-management program. Supported self-management intervention programs aim to empower and support people living with chronic conditions to navigate social, physical, emotional and spiritual impacts associated with chronic disease management. The supported self-management intervention program chosen for trial, The Flinders Program, is tailored based on self-assessment surveys and guided interviews/sessions. It results in development of a care plan and, ideally, improved wellbeing. To date, supported self-management programs have not been trialled in NZ as a component of cancer care survivorship pathways that emphasise wellbeing. Methods: The purpose of this study was to explore NZ survivors, as well as health and supportive care workers’, experiences of cancer treatment impacts and care gaps. A supported self-management intervention program was delivered in a NZ hospital setting to see if it could acceptably and feasibly address cancer survivor impacts and unmet needs. A Medical Research Council (UK) framework guided the two-phase study design. The pilot was limited to patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer because these cancers are common in NZ and intervention with colorectal cancer survivors is comparatively under-researched. The first phase of the study qualitatively explored the lived experiences of survivors and the views on survivorship held by a selection of health and supportive care workers. The data showed unmet survivor needs, existing self-management strategies employed, and possible acceptability of The Flinders Program. The second phase of the study piloted The Flinders Program with cancer patients over three sessions coinciding with standard appointments during treatment. Phase two aimed to test the feasibility of procedures for recruitment, randomisation, intervention delivery and outcome evaluation in outpatient cancer clinics. The intervention was delivered using a two-arm pre- post-assessment design to inform intervention acceptability and feasibility. Process evaluation explored enablers/ barriers of intervention delivery while distress, resilience, self-efficacy and quality of life patient-reported outcomes were assessed. Results: The MRC Framework on complex interventions provided a strong structure for conducting planned and stepped intervention research. The phase one qualitative study findings were that both Māori and non-Māori cancer survivors experienced social, physical, emotional and spiritual impacts through cancer treatment that affected their ability to self-manage effectively during active treatment and in the post-cancer treatment transition and extended survival period. Survivor impacts were managed through survivorship work. Phase one data indicated cautious acceptability of The Flinders Program. Phase two data showed that the supported self-management intervention program is questionably feasible, but had the potential to contribute to improved self-management competence if issues related to enablers and barriers at the individual (i.e. self-management readiness) and environmental levels (i.e. staff resourcing) could be addressed. Discussion: A Chronic Care Model-based supported self-management intervention, The Flinders Program, can be delivered in cancer care settings to address survivorship impacts. However, there are important differences between the setting of chronic conditions and the cancer clinical setting as identified by survivors’ shared experiences. The Flinders Program was deemed acceptable to both Māori and non-Māori survivors as well as health and supportive care workers participating in the pilot study but there were feasibility challenges associated with delivering the program in hospital-based cancer treatment settings. The Flinders Program did impact on patient-reported outcome measures but in no clear significant pattern or consistent manner. Further intervention research into supported self-management programs or other types of survivorship care is needed to progress survivorship care pathways.

This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, approximately 14 million people have had cancer and more than 1.6 million new cases are diagnosed each year. However, more than a decade after the Institute of Medicine (IOM) first studied the quality of cancer care, the barriers to achieving excellent care for all cancer patients remain daunting. Care often is not patient-centered, many patients do not receive palliative care to manage their symptoms and side effects from treatment, and decisions about care often are not based on the latest scientific evidence. The cost of cancer care also is rising faster than many sectors of medicine--having increased to $125 billion in 2010 from $72 billion in 2004--and is projected to reach $173 billion by 2020. Rising costs are making cancer care less affordable for patients and their families and are creating disparities in patients' access to high-quality cancer care. There also are growing shortages of health professionals skilled in providing cancer care, and the number of adults age 65 and older--the group most susceptible to cancer--is expected to double by 2030, contributing to a 45 percent increase in the number of people developing cancer. The current care delivery system is poorly prepared to address the care needs of this population, which are complex due to altered physiology, functional and cognitive impairment, multiple coexisting diseases, increased side effects from treatment, and greater need for social support. Delivering High-Quality Cancer Care: Charting a New Course for a System in Crisis presents a conceptual framework for improving the quality of cancer care. This study proposes improvements to six interconnected components of care: (1) engaged patients; (2) an adequately staffed, trained, and coordinated workforce; (3) evidence-based care; (4) learning health care information technology (IT); (5) translation of evidence into clinical practice, quality measurement and performance improvement; and (6) accessible and affordable care. This report recommends changes across the board in these areas to improve the quality of care. Delivering High-Quality Cancer Care: Charting a New Course for a System in Crisis provides information for cancer care teams, patients and their families, researchers, quality metrics developers, and payers, as well as HHS, other federal agencies, and industry to reevaluate their current roles and responsibilities in cancer care and work together to develop a higher quality care delivery system. By working toward this shared goal, the cancer care community can improve the quality of life and outcomes for people facing a cancer diagnosis.
Book Synopsis The Association of Caregiver Unmet Needs with Psychological Well-being of Cancer Survivors by : Angela Li
Download or read book The Association of Caregiver Unmet Needs with Psychological Well-being of Cancer Survivors written by Angela Li and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Cancer survivors continue to experience psychological distress and challenges in their daily lives long after the completion of treatment. Caregivers play a pivotal role in the lives of cancer survivors by providing support in various domains of their lives. The cancer experience between support persons and cancer survivors is intertwined. The interdependence theory will serve as a theoretical framework to guide the purposes of this study. Objective:The purpose of this research was to gain a better understanding of unmet needs of caregivers supporting long-term cancer survivors and explore how fulfilling the needs of caregivers influenced the psychological well-being of cancer survivors. Specifically, an emphasis was placed on exploring the level of dependence present in marital relationships, and how this impacted the relationship between caregiver unmet needs and the psychological outcomes of cancer survivors. Method: Data was drawn from The Cancer Support Persons' Unmet Needs Survey (SPUNS) (Campbell et al., 2009) and The Cancer Survivors' Unmet Needs Survey (SUNS) (Campbell et al., 2009). Regression models tested for significant interactions between caregiver unmet needs and factors influencing survivor dependence with psychological distress in cancer survivors. Results: Findings revealed main effects between caregivers' depression, anxiety, and stress with the respective psychological outcomes in cancer survivors. Caregivers' concerns about the future predicted elevated depression in cancer survivors. Caregivers with needs pertaining to information or emotions predicted higher anxiety in cancer survivors. Information needs, future concerns, and health care access and continuity needs of caregivers predicted higher survivor stress. Conversely, work and financial needs of caregivers predicted lower depression, anxiety and stress in cancer survivors. Significant interactions were found for caregivers' concerns about the future by recurrence of diagnosis with decreased survivor anxiety, health care needs of support persons by recurrence of illness with increased survivor anxiety, caregivers' personal needs by severity of illness with higher survivor anxiety, support persons' emotional needs by severity of illness with lower survivor anxiety, caregivers' emotional needs by severity of illness and decreased survivor stress, and finally, support persons' health care needs by severity of illness with higher survivor stress. Conclusion: Findings did not fully support the hypotheses of this present study. Nonetheless, the significant results revealed in the findings would be useful to generate alternative hypotheses in future studies regarding interdependence, unmet needs and psychological well-being. The findings for the present study will also provide direction towards improvement in treating caregivers and cancer patients as a conglomerate, and inform programs, services and policies in cancer care.

This book was released on 2014-05-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identifying and Addressing the Needs of Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer is the summary of a workshop convened by the Institute of Medicine's National Cancer Policy Forum in July 2013 to facilitate discussion about gaps and challenges in caring for adolescent and young adult cancer patients and potential strategies and actions to improve the quality of their care. The workshop featured invited presentations from clinicians and other advocates working to improve the care and outcomes for the adolescent and young adult population with cancer. Cancer is the leading disease-related cause of death in adolescents and young adults. Each year nearly 70,000 people between the ages of 15 and 39 are diagnosed with cancer, approximately 8 times more than children under age 15. This population faces a variety of unique short- and long-term health and psychosocial issues, such as difficulty reentering school, the workforce, or the dating scene; problems with infertility; cardiac, pulmonary, or other treatment repercussions; and secondary malignancies. Survivors are also at increased risk for psychiatric conditions such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and suicide and may have difficulty acquiring health insurance and paying for needed care. Identifying and Addressing the Needs of Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer discusses a variety of topics important to adolescent and young adult patients with cancer, including the ways in which cancers affecting this group differ from cancers in other age groups and what that implies about the best treatments for these cancer patients. This report identifies gaps and challenges in providing optimal care to adolescent and young adult patients with cancer and to discuss potential strategies and actions to address them.
