Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present research developed an evaluation scale for social problems experienced by cancer patients of working age (i.e., 20-64 years old). Items on the scale were generated based on both interview surveys of working-aged patients and discussion among panels of multi-disciplinary professionals who provide support to patients with cancer. An Internet-based survey was administered to 804 cancer patients. The results indicated that 39.5% of the cancer patients of working age experienced at least one serious social problem during the last week. Based on the survey results, a 14-item scale for social problems was created, and the validity and reliability of the scale were confirmed. Additionally, an algorithm was developed for social workers to use as a screening tool to identify social distress in patients with cancer to allow for effective intervention in outpatient clinics.
