Abstract

Objective: Lung cancer is associated with the highest incidence and mortality of all cancers. New treatments, called targeted therapies (TT) and immunotherapies (IO), offer higher treatment efficacy and fewer side effects compared to traditional treatments but are accompanied by uncertainty and an unpredictable treatment course. There is a paucity of research on the experiences of individuals living with advanced or metastatic lung cancer receiving TT/IO, and even less is known about the supportive care needs of this population.

Methods: Twenty four participants from across Canada participated in semi-structured interviews regarding their supportive care needs. Thematic analysis was utilized to identify their supportive care needs.

Results: Qualitative coding identified unmet needs and challenges. All participants indicated difficulties with unmet supportive care needs, including psychological, informational, and practical needs.

Conclusions: The exploration of supportive care experiences of patients receiving TT/IO exposes high distress and unmet needs. Results indicate the need for timely and accessible supportive cancer care. Results can inform patient advocacy efforts and the development of new services.

接受靶向或免疫疗法的晚期或转移性肺癌患者的支持性护理需求。
目的:肺癌是所有癌症中发病率和死亡率最高的一种。与传统疗法相比,被称为靶向疗法(TT)和免疫疗法(IO)的新疗法具有更高的疗效和更少的副作用,但也伴随着不确定性和不可预测的治疗过程。有关晚期或转移性肺癌患者接受TT/IO治疗的经历的研究很少,对这一人群的支持性护理需求更是知之甚少:来自加拿大各地的 24 名参与者参加了有关其支持性护理需求的半结构化访谈。结果:定性编码确定了未满足的需求:定性编码确定了未满足的需求和面临的挑战。所有参与者都表示在未满足支持性护理需求方面遇到了困难,包括心理、信息和实际需求:对接受 TT/IO 治疗的患者的支持性护理经验进行的探索暴露出了患者的高度痛苦和未满足的需求。研究结果表明,癌症患者需要及时获得支持性护理。研究结果可为患者权益维护工作和新服务的开发提供参考。

期刊介绍: Psycho-Oncology is concerned with the psychological, social, behavioral, and ethical aspects of cancer. This subspeciality addresses the two major psychological dimensions of cancer: the psychological responses of patients to cancer at all stages of the disease, and that of their families and caretakers; and the psychological, behavioral and social factors that may influence the disease process. Psycho-oncology is an area of multi-disciplinary interest and has boundaries with the major specialities in oncology: the clinical disciplines (surgery, medicine, pediatrics, radiotherapy), epidemiology, immunology, endocrinology, biology, pathology, bioethics, palliative care, rehabilitation medicine, clinical trials research and decision making, as well as psychiatry and psychology. This international journal is published twelve times a year and will consider contributions to research of clinical and theoretical interest. Topics covered are wide-ranging and relate to the psychosocial aspects of cancer and AIDS-related tumors, including: epidemiology, quality of life, palliative and supportive care, psychiatry, psychology, sociology, social work, nursing and educational issues. Special reviews are offered from time to time. There is a section reviewing recently published books. A society news section is available for the dissemination of information relating to meetings, conferences and other society-related topics. Summary proceedings of important national and international symposia falling within the aims of the journal are presented.
