PURPOSE: Parents of children/adolescents with cancer are placed in a state of severe suffering due to serious concerns, fears, and radical daily life changes. Human support is an important source of support for successful coping. This study explored fundamental aspects of parents' daily, social, and personal life during their child's treatment to deepen our understanding of 'who' plays a significant role in supporting parents, and how, and to what extent this support is provided. METHODS: This qualitative study was undertaken in a compassion paradigm, designed and guided by Heidegger's and Gadamer's philosophy and compassionate methods...

OBJECTIVE: Little evidence exists on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer survivors, limiting recommendations to improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in this population. We describe survivors' pandemic experiences and examine associations between COVID-19-related exposures, psychosocial experiences, and HRQoL. METHODS: Between May 2020-April 2021, survivors completed cross-sectional questionnaires capturing COVID-19-related exposures (e.g., exposure to virus, job loss); psychosocial experiences (i...

PURPOSE: Since the COVID-19 pandemic, psycho-oncological care has increasingly been provided virtually and/or telephonically. We examined whether patients' therapeutic alliance (TA) - an essential processual outcome - differs due to altered modes of care delivery (MOCD) and assessed, if MOCD impacts patients' care satisfaction and patient reported outcomes. METHODS: Survey and documentation data from newly diagnosed cancer patients that were cared for in the new form of care 'isPO' in Germany, were analyzed...

OBJECTIVES: To explore the acceptability of screening for family-reported outcomes (FROs) among cancer caregivers (unpaid family members or friends who provide support to patients with cancer) and identify from their perspective the key components of a FRO screening program. METHODS: Using a qualitative descriptive design, semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 23 adult caregivers of people with cancer between 2020 and 2021. Interview questions focused on acceptability of FRO screening, types of FROs, timing/frequency of screening, preferred resources following screening, and communication of FROs to patients and clinicians...

Prehabilitation is an upcoming strategy to optimize patient's functional capacity, nutritional status, and psychosocial well-being in order to reduce surgical complications and enhance recovery. This study aims to assess the feasibility of implementing a multimodal prehabilitation program into the standard care of gynecological oncology patients at an academic hospital in terms of recruitment, adherence, and safety, which were assessed by the number of patients eligible, recruitment rate, participation rate, and adherence to individual modalities...

BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with psychosocial distress that affects patients' quality of life. The distress thermometer (DT) is an 11-point visual analogue scale that is used as a screening tool for the assessment of psychosocial distress, originally developed for oncological diseases.

PURPOSE: A metastatic breast cancer (mBC) diagnosis can affect physical and emotional well-being. However, racial and ethnic differences in receipt of outpatient psychosocial care and supportive care medications in adults with mBC are not well described. METHODS: Adults with mBC were identified in the INSIGHT-Clinical Research Network, a database inclusive of >12 million patients receiving care across six New York City health systems. Outpatient psychosocial care was operationalized using Common Procedure Terminology codes for outpatient psychotherapy or counseling...

This scoping review aims to synthesize the current landscape of physical activity in cancer prehabilitation and identify knowledge gaps. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS and WEB OF SCIENCE for exercise interventions and observational studies that measured exercise or physical activity before cancer treatment from inception to January 20, 2023. Fifty-one articles from 44 unique studies were reviewed, including 32 intervention and 12 observational studies. Surgery is the only treatment modality that has been investigated...

OBJECTIVE: Emerging research suggests that completion of pediatric cancer treatment can be challenging for caregivers given shifting roles and responsibilities. Lower caregiver quality of life (QOL) has been associated with cancer-related variables, higher cancer caregiving strain, and more household material hardship during pediatric cancer treatment. Caregiver QOL at the end of treatment has not been fully investigated but has implications for child and family well-being. Using a psycho-oncology framework, this study aimed to understand the cumulative burden of household material hardship and cancer-related factors on caregiver QOL at the end of treatment...

BACKGROUND: Actively engaging patients with cancer and their families in monitoring and reporting medication safety events during care transitions is indispensable for achieving optimal patient safety outcomes. However, existing patient self-reporting systems often cannot address patients' various experiences and concerns regarding medication safety over time. In addition, these systems are usually not designed for patients' just-in-time reporting. There is a significant knowledge gap in understanding the nature, scope, and causes of medication safety events after patients' transition back home because of a lack of patient engagement in self-monitoring and reporting of safety events...

Background: The financial burden resulting from cancers on families is higher when it arises in young people compared with older adults. Previous research has provided insight into the financial toxicities associated with childhood cancer, but less is known about the efficacy of financial aid systems in reducing the financial burden on families. We conducted a scoping review to identify the determinants of success and failure of financial aid. Methods: Five databases were searched for articles published between January 1, 2000 and December 1, 2022...

PURPOSE: Financial toxicity is a contributor to the psychosocial burden of cancer care. There is no consensus measure of financial toxicity; however, recent studies have adopted the Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST). Despite its growing popularity, data on the responsiveness to change of the COST instrument are lacking. To address this gap in the literature, we performed a sequential mixed-methods study of people with multiple myeloma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the quantitative phase of the study, we collected COST scores at two time points approximately 8 weeks apart from 72 patients...

OBJECTIVE: Observational data suggest hope is associated with the quality of life and survival of people with cancer. This trial examined the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary outcomes of "Pathways," a hope intervention for people in treatment for advanced lung cancer. METHODS: Between 2020 and 2022, we conducted a single-arm trial of Pathways among participants who were 3-12 weeks into systemic treatment. Pathways consisted of two individual sessions delivered during infusions and three phone calls in which participants discussed their values, goals, and goal strategies with a nurse or occupational therapist...

OBJECTIVE: Speech rehabilitation significantly contributes to the enhanced quality of life for patients who have undergone laryngectomy due to head and neck cancer. The initiation of tracheoesophageal speech early in the rehabilitation process has been associated with improved speech quality. Despite this, voice changes can carry a stigma due to communication challenges, even after successful voice restoration, potentially limiting the overall improvement in quality of life. Thus, our aim was to gain a profound understanding of the transition process from the selection to the adaptation of tracheoesophageal speech in patients with head and neck cancer...
