Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: This study addresses the critical issue of survivorship care for Black prostate cancer survivors. The aim was to explore their awareness of survivorship care plans to improve prostate cancer care and survivorship within this high-risk group.
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.
摘要:
目的:本研究解决了黑色前列腺癌幸存者生存护理的关键问题。目的是探索他们对生存护理计划的认识,以改善该高危人群中的前列腺癌护理和生存。
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。
