Patient experience with cancer care in low- and middle-income Asian countries
INTRODUCTION: Despite the disproportionate burden of cancer morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), little is known about patients' care experiences in these settings. This study assesses which aspects of physician communication and care coordination most influence patients' overall experience with care, and factors associated with patient experience ratings, to inform quality improvement and improve cancer care exper…
Quality of life and psychological distress of patients with advanced cancer in the Philippines
Financial difficulties and patient-reported outcomes among patients with advanced heart failure
Oncologist‐patient‐caregiver decision‐making discussions in the context of advanced cancer in an Asian setting
OBJECTIVE: Patient involvement in treatment decisions is recommended in clinician-patient encounters. Little is known about how oncologists engage patients in shared decision making in non-Western countries. We assessed the prevalence of shared decision making among Singaporean oncologists and analysed how they discussed prognosis. METHODS: We audio-recorded 100 consultations between advanced cancer patients and their oncologists. We developed a …
Socio-economic inequalities in suffering at the end of life among advanced cancer patients
Results highlight that SES inequalities in EOL suffering vary depending on the suffering domain, the SES indicator assessed, and by patient age. Greater palliative care resources for patients with low SES may help reduce these inequalities
Public health expenditure and health system responsiveness for low-income individuals
Improvement in overall responsiveness to people's expectations is an important goal for any health system; socioeconomic equity in responsiveness is equally important. However, it is not known if socioeconomic disparities in responsiveness can be reduced through greater public health expenditures. This article assesses the relationship of the proportion of public health expenditure over total health expenditure (PPHE) with responsiveness for poor…
Health Impacts of Caregiving for Older Adults With Functional Limitations
The study indicates the need for support services to family caregivers of older adults with ADL limitations
Does Support From Foreign Domestic Workers Decrease the Negative Impact of Informal Caregiving? Results From Singapore Survey on Informal Caregiving
FDW support is associated with better caregiving outcomes. Given its aging population, the number of FDWs in Singapore is likely to increase as families try to cope with caregiving for their older members. This has policy implications for (a) immigration patterns into Singapore and (b) training of and support networks for FDWs
Socio-economic disparities in health system responsiveness in India
OBJECTIVE: To assess the magnitude of socio-economic disparities in health system responsiveness in India after correcting for potential reporting heterogeneity by socio-economic characteristics (education and wealth). METHODS: Data from Wave 1 of the Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (2007-2008) involving six Indian states were used. Seven health system responsiveness domains were considered for a respondent's last visit to an outpatient s…
The Effect of Coresidence With an Adult Child on Depressive Symptoms Among Older Widowed Women in South Korea
The IV estimation method can be a useful approach to addressing the potential endogeneity between intergenerational coresidence and elderly health. Rapidly decreasing rates of intergenerational coresidence may raise public health concerns among older widowed women in South Korea
Life-Course Socioeconomic Status and Obesity Among Older Singaporean Chinese Men and Women
Association of the life-course SES conceptual models with obesity among older Singaporeans is different from that reported among younger Western populations, suggesting the association to be context specific. The different conceptual models complement each other
Living arrangements, social networks and depressive symptoms among older men and women in Singapore
OBJECTIVES: To examine the association of living arrangements and social networks outside the household with depressive symptoms among older men and women, ascertain if these relationships differ between older men and women, and investigate whether the association of living arrangements with depressive symptoms varies by strength of social networks. METHODS: Data for 4489 community-dwelling Singaporeans, aged 60 years and older, from a recent nat…
Correlates of limitations in activities of daily living and mobility among community-dwelling older Singaporeans
Most research on activity limitations has focused on the association between chronic health conditions and activity limitations and given little attention to their social and financial implications. In this paper, we study the correlates of limitations in the activities of daily living (ADL) and mobility among older Singaporeans (aged 55 or more years), based on the ‘disability frameworks’ or pathways proposed by Nagi, Verbrugge and the Internati…
