“…Perhaps, cancer patients should be given extra consideration rather than discriminate in terms of financial assistance to ensure the treatment process goes smoothly and the patient will have good motivation with "Zero Cancer Worries Community". In addition, public should be educated with cancer symptoms in details to make them aware and being helpful rather than being avoidance and skeptical (Ohlsson-Nevo, et al, 2020). Patients suffering from cancer may experience a wide variety of symptoms (Reeve et al, 2014), and it is the responsibility of healthcare providers to identify these patients and provide them with effective treatment as well as supportive care in order to improve patients' quality of life and reduce the likelihood of social stigma.…”

“…According to Table 2, the mean score of 1.98 indicates that most respondents can tolerate cancer patients' conditions, even though most of them had never have the bad perception where the patients being suffered because of their lifestyle and conditions. Younger people, those with university educations, and patients who were professionally active made up the majority of the group of patients who reported higher social dysfunction (Ohlsson-Nevo et al, 2020), which may indicate that their social lives are more restricted to work and family as a result of the cancer diagnosis.…”

Cancer is one of the world's top ten deadliest diseases. The initial shock of being diagnosed with cancer is followed by an understanding of the enormous physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges that lie ahead.Aside from the emotional turmoil that comes with a cancer diagnosis, patients must devise a strategy to deal with and combat the disease. This study is looking into the level of cancer awareness and stigma among Malaysia's non-patient population. Low rates of cancer screening and awareness, delays in seeking medical attention, slow detection and diagnosis times, and insufficient access to high-quality care continue to influence people's willingness to go for cancer screening and treatment, causing the country's cancer survival rates to fall below the global average. As a result, increase public awareness campaigns about cancer screening and health information are needed, particularly in rural areas. These initiatives and activities have the potential to improve public access to resources for cancer screening and treatment in rural areas, particularly for people who are at high risk. In light of the growing number of cancer patients, this study may aid the government and policymakers in examining the elements and causes so that people can become more aware of cancer and improve their level of awareness. Finally, this research will benefit people's well-being and align with the social re-engineering dimension highlighted in Malaysia's 12thPlan.

Background Assessment of Rehabilitation Needs Checklist (ARNC), has been developed to assess rehabilitation need in cancer patients and is recommended by the Confederation of Regional Cancer Centres in Sweden, known as Hälsoskattningen. The aim of the study was to test the reliability and validity of the ARNC, mainly by comparing it with the Distress thermometer and EORTC QLQ-C30. Methodology A sample of 993 persons identified in the Swedish cancer register. The study participants were diagnosed with cancer in 2021 in the Mid Sweden region. The psychometric methods tested reliability and validity including factor analysis. Results The response rate was 38%. The test-retest analysis showed that ICC was 0.80 or higher for 12 of the ARNC items. A strong or modarete correlation between ARNC and the other instruments was found in all functional scales and for most items. CFA of the 13-item two-factor model showed a RMSEA value of 0.04, CFI and TLI values of 0.97 and 0.96, and a SRMR value of 0.05, indicating a satisfactory model fit. Conclusion The evaluation of the ARNC suggests that it is an acceptable and reliable screening instrument for detecting symptoms and signs indicating a possible need of rehabilitation. The medium to strong correlations between ARNC items and the EORTC QLQ- C30 items and scales suggest that ARNC could be an alternative also for research purposes when a shorter and less comprehensive instrument is needed. The simple design could be an advantage as it lowers the burden on cancer patients.
