METHODS: Utilizing a thematic analysis approach, we conducted in-depth interviews focused on analyzing post-treatment experiences of Black prostate cancer survivors by applying interpretive explanations to data collected from participants.
RESULTS: Participants reported a significant gap in survivorship care plan communication post-treatment, as these plans were seldom discussed. Survivors highlighted the adoption of post-treatment strategies and self-education as means to enhance their comprehension of the survivorship process. Black survivors demonstrated an intrinsic motivation, after feeling \"discarded,\" to find suitable resources to enhance their survivorship care for a better quality of life.
CONCLUSIONS: The prioritization of post-treatment care for Black prostate cancer survivors is important. By offering comprehensive post-treatment education, improving symptom transparency, and establishing safe spaces for open discussion, the quality of life of Black survivors may be substantially improved.
CONCLUSIONS: There is a pressing need for dynamic post-treatment care coordination tailored to Black prostate cancer survivors. A lack of crucial post-treatment education for this population that experiences disproportionate burden of prostate cancer may exacerbate cancer health disparities. Addressing this care coordination gap may improve support systems, survivor well-being, and better cancer outcomes.
方法:利用主题分析方法,我们进行了深入访谈,重点是通过对参与者收集的数据应用解释性解释,分析黑人前列腺癌幸存者的治疗后经历.
结果:参与者报告称治疗后生存护理计划沟通存在显著差距,因为这些计划很少被讨论。幸存者强调采用后处理策略和自我教育,以增强他们对生存过程的理解。黑人幸存者表现出内在动机,在感觉“丢弃”之后,“寻找合适的资源来提高他们的生存护理,以提高生活质量。
结论:对黑人前列腺癌幸存者进行治疗后的优先治疗是很重要的。通过提供全面的治疗后教育,提高症状透明度,建立公开讨论的安全空间,黑人幸存者的生活质量可能会大大提高。
结论:迫切需要为黑人前列腺癌幸存者量身定制的动态治疗后护理协调。对于经历过不成比例的前列腺癌负担的人群,缺乏关键的治疗后教育可能会加剧癌症健康差异。解决这一护理协调差距可能会改善支持系统,幸存者的福祉,和更好的癌症结果。
