Abstract

The supportive care needs of people with metastatic cancer, particularly Asian Americans, are understudied. Distinct psychosocial support needs may exist across ethnocultural groups with Confucian-heritage values and norms. Cultural factors may shape how adults approach their oncologic care. This qualitative study represents the perspectives of 15 experienced healthcare professionals about the supportive care needs of Chinese-, Korean-, and Vietnamese-heritage (CKV) adults with metastatic solid cancers. Reflexive thematic analysis was conducted with transcripts from three semi-structured focus groups and five parallel-format individual interviews. Inductive coding and iterative theme development resulted in four themes describing the types of needs (basic, care-related, mental health, relational trust) that should be met for CKV patients with metastatic cancer, which may fall through the gaps when the healthcare system and patient's differing cultural contexts collide. In conclusion, greater involvement of psychosocial care specialists with cultural expertise is essential to promote patients' and families' well-being, prevent care disparities, and better support the healthcare team. Systemic changes that increase workforce diversity, reduce language and insurance barriers, and allow healthcare professionals to build relational trust with patients, are needed to improve quality of life for CKV patients with metastatic cancer.

医护人员对患有转移性癌症的华裔、韩裔和越南裔美国人的支持性护理需求的看法。
对转移性癌症患者,尤其是亚裔美国人的支持性护理需求研究不足。具有儒家传统价值观和规范的民族文化群体可能存在不同的社会心理支持需求。文化因素可能会影响成年人如何对待他们的肿瘤治疗。本定性研究从 15 位经验丰富的医疗保健专业人员的角度,探讨了中国、韩国和越南血统(CKV)成人转移性实体癌患者的支持性护理需求。我们对三个半结构化焦点小组和五个平行形式个人访谈的记录进行了反思性主题分析。归纳编码和迭代主题发展产生了四个主题,分别描述了转移性癌症的 CKV 患者应满足的需求类型(基本需求、护理相关需求、心理健康需求、关系信任需求),当医疗保健系统和患者的不同文化背景发生冲突时,这些需求可能会出现缺口。总之,具有文化专业知识的社会心理护理专家的更多参与对于促进患者和家属的福祉、防止护理差异以及更好地支持医疗团队至关重要。为提高转移性癌症 CKV 患者的生活质量,需要进行系统性改革,以增加劳动力的多样性、减少语言和保险障碍,并允许医疗专业人员与患者建立相互信任的关系。
