Discussion of emotions among newly diagnosed non-Hispanic White and Chinese American patients with breast cancer and their oncologists
This qualitative study analyzed how Chinese American (CA) and non-Hispanic White (NHW) breast cancer patients and their oncologists communicated about patients' emotional concerns. Data included twenty-four recordings of clinical encounters between oncologists and four CA and eight NHW women with a new breast cancer diagnosis between 2013 and 2015. Using an interactional sociolinguistics approach to discourse analysis, we examined how CA and NHW …
Chinese American and Non-Hispanic White Breast Cancer Patients’ Knowledge and Use of BRCA Testing
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Chinese American women. Knowing the BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) gene mutation status can improve breast cancer patients' health outcomes by guiding targeted treatment towards preventing breast cancer recurrence and other BRCA-related cancers. Nevertheless, it is unclear if there is a disparity in knowledge and use of BRCA testing among Chinese American breast cancer patients. This cross-sect…
Mediational roles of stress-coping factors in the relationship between patient-perceived communication quality and physical functioning
Talking about cancer
Cultural models of emotional disclosure and its impact on seeking support are understudied in the context of cancer diagnosis. We argue that two different cultural norms must be considered: (1) the importance of emotional disclosure and (2) attitudes toward seeking support from loved ones. Our interviews with 37 foreign-born Chinese American and 23 European American breast cancer survivors revealed differences in disclosure of cancer diagnosis an…
Psychometric Properties of the Medical Mistrust Index (MMI) in Latina Immigrants
Medical mistrust measures have not been validated in Latino immigrants. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Medical Mistrust Index and its association with health care satisfaction in a sample of Latina immigrants. Participants were 168 self-identified Latinas ≥40 years old. Women were recruited from three Latino-serving health clinics and through a Latino radio program. A bilingual interviewer administered the Medical Mistrust…
Exploring Gender and Cultural, Socioecological Considerations in Psycho-Oncology (DRAFT)
The field of psychosocial oncology must respond to the needs of increasingly diverse cancer patient and survivor populations. Taking a health equity approach, this chapter reviews the intersectionality of the gender, culture, and socioecological contexts relevant to psychosocial oncology and survivorship. The authors propose five initiatives to (1) ensure gender consideration in the way forward so that psychosocial oncology is more patient respon…
Acculturation and Adherence to Physical Activity Recommendations Among Chinese American and Non-Hispanic White Breast Cancer Survivors
Physician Intervention and Chinese Americans' Colorectal Cancer Screening
This physician-focused intervention had small, non-significant effects in increasing Chinese patients' CRC screening rates. Physician communication appeared to explain intervention efficacy. More intensive interventions are needed to enhance Chinese patients' CRC screening
Knowledge and perceptions of hepatitis c infection and pesticides use in two rural villages in Egypt
In rural Egypt, there is a significant lack of knowledge of HCV infection and its transmission mode and limited use of protective measures against pesticides despite familiarity with these chemicals
A mixed method exploration of survivorship among Chinese American and non-Hispanic White breast cancer survivors
