Racial/Ethnic Disparities
Background Discrimination is associated with worse mental and physical health outcomes. However, the associations among cancer survivors are limited. Objective We examined whether discrimination is associated with HRQoL and whether adjusting for it reduces racial/ethnic disparities in HRQoL among cancer survivors. Methods Cross-sectional data from adult cancer survivors who completed surveys on discrimination in the medical settings (DMS), everyd…
Healthcare Experiences Are Associated with Colorectal Cancer Mortality but only for Specific Racial Groups
Background The objective of this study was to determine whether racial/ethnic disparities exist in patient-reported experiences with care after colorectal cancer diagnosis and whether they are associated with mortality. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of colorectal cancer patients diagnosed from 1997 to 2011, ≥ 65 years, and completed a Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) survey at least 6 months afte…
Psychological Impact and Coping Strategies of Hispanic Parents of Children with Cancer
Throughout the cancer trajectory, parents of childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) may experience mental and social challenges requiring continual adaptation to cancer-induced stress. Using Lazarus and Folkman's Transactional Model of Stress and Coping framework, this qualitative study aimed to describe Hispanic parents' psychological health and explore their coping strategies. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 15 Hispanic caregivers from a safe…
Racial and ethnic disparities in self-reported general and mental health status among colorectal cancer survivors
Racial and ethnic differences in GHS and MHS reported after CRC diagnosis are mainly driven by sociodemographic factors and reflect a higher risk of mortality. Identifying unmet biopsychosocial needs is necessary to promote equitable care
Will Improvements in Patient Experience With Care Impact Clinical and Quality of Care Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Patient experiences with health care have been widely used as benchmark indicators of quality for providers, health care practices, and health plans. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to summarize the literature regarding the associations between Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) patient experiences and clinical and quality outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN: A systematic review of the literature was comp…
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Patient Experiences With Health Care in Association With Earlier Stage at Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis
BACKGROUND: Racial/ethnic minorities are more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage of colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, our objective was to identify whether racial/ethnic differences in patient experiences (PE) with health care are associated with stage at CRC diagnosis. METHODS: The authors used the National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results registry data linked with the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers…
