Abstract

Cancer and its care create substantial financial, time, and administrative burdens both for patients and their loved ones. While cancer-related financial burdens have been well documented in the past decade, time and administrative burdens of cancer care have received substantially less attention. We define time burdens as the burden patients and caregivers experience due to the time needed to complete cancer-related treatment and tasks that take away from other life responsibilities. Relatedly, we conceptualize administrative burdens as those burdens patients and caregivers experience due to cancer-related, resource-consuming bureaucratic and logistical tasks. Finally, financial hardship can be conceptualized as problems patients experience related to the cost of medical care. These burdens do not exist in isolation; time, administrative, and financial burdens intersect with and compound each other. Currently, we have limited evidence-based measures on the objective (e.g., scheduling time, transportation, wait time) and subjective (e.g., mental, emotional and physical stress) measures of time and administrative burden. We have even more limited evidence of the risk factors for and outcomes from increased time and administrative burdens, and how they differentially impact populations across social and demographic groups. In this commentary, we present a research agenda to map, measure, evaluate, and mitigate the time, administrative, and financial burdens of cancer and its care.

癌症诊断带来的时间、行政和经济负担的交织。
癌症及其护理给患者及其亲人带来了巨大的经济、时间和行政负担。在过去的十年中,与癌症相关的经济负担已经得到了很好的记录,但癌症护理所带来的时间和行政负担却很少受到关注。我们将时间负担定义为患者和护理人员因完成与癌症相关的治疗和任务所需的时间而产生的负担,这些时间占用了他们的其他生活责任。与此相关,我们将行政负担定义为患者和护理人员因癌症相关的、耗费资源的官僚主义和后勤工作而承受的负担。最后,经济困难可以被理解为患者在医疗费用方面遇到的问题。这些负担并不是孤立存在的;时间、行政和经济负担相互交织,相互加重。目前,我们对时间和行政负担的客观(如排班时间、交通、等待时间)和主观(如精神、情绪和身体压力)方面的循证措施还很有限。对于时间和行政负担增加的风险因素和结果,以及它们如何对不同社会和人口群体产生不同影响,我们所掌握的证据更为有限。在这篇评论中,我们提出了一项研究议程,旨在绘制、测量、评估和减轻癌症及其护理所带来的时间、行政和经济负担。
