Summary
The Describing Asian American Well-Being and Needs in Cancer (DAWN) Study explored supportive care needs in Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean (CVK) Americans with metastatic cancer. Findings will inform culturally sensitive interventions for this understudied population.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Health Services Research
- Health Disparities
Background:
- Asian Americans with metastatic cancer are an understudied population.
- The Describing Asian American Well-Being and Needs in Cancer (DAWN) Study addresses this gap.
- Focuses on supportive care needs of Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean (CVK) descent patients.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present the DAWN Study protocol.
- Utilize a qualitative, convergent, mixed-methods approach.
- Gather insights from patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
Main Methods:
- Nationwide recruitment of CVK Americans with metastatic solid cancer and their caregivers.
- Multilingual study materials and interviews (English, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese).
- Inclusion of healthcare professionals experienced with CVK patients.
Main Results:
- Study recruitment occurred from November 2020 to October 2022.
- Data collected from 66 patients/survivors, 13 caregivers, and 15 healthcare professionals.
- Data management completed December 2023; results publication planned for 2024.
Conclusions:
- Future findings will detail supportive care needs of CVK metastatic cancer patients.
- Results will guide the development of culturally appropriate psychosocial interventions.
- Aims to address unmet supportive care needs in this demographic.

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.

1.5K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

02:49Cancer Therapies
7.6K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
