“…Approximately 85% of communication time involves physicians providing disease and treatment information, neglecting the variation in patients’ knowledge preferences, attitudes, and needs across illness stages [ 32 , 33 ]. The alignment of physicians’ perceptions with patients’ actual preferences is only approximately 45% [ 34 ]. In addition, time constraints and patient volume often lead physicians to focus on treatment-related information, sidelining social and psychological concerns [ 35 ].…”

Background Countries abroad have implemented pediatric palliative treatment for several years; however, complete pediatric palliative treatment guidelines and legal guidance remain lacking in China, making the implementation of palliative care difficult. Purpose This study aimed to understand the current situation, similarities, and differences in the knowledge, attitudes, and needs of caregivers and healthcare providers regarding palliative care for children. Methods This cross-correlation study collected data from pediatric and neonatal intensive care units of four hospitals in China. The participants comprised 180 caregivers and 172 healthcare providers. The measurement tools included the palliative care knowledge scale, palliative care attitude scale, and pediatric palliative care needs scale. This study adhered to the STROBE reporting guidelines. Results Significant differences in palliative care knowledge, attitudes, and needs were observed between caregivers and healthcare providers (p < 0.005). Pediatric healthcare providers demonstrated higher knowledge and positive attitudes regarding palliative care than caregivers. Needs for communication in general and relief from pain and other symptoms of caregivers were higher than those of healthcare providers (p < 0.001). Furthermore, palliative care attitude and needs of healthcare providers were positively correlated with each other (r = 0.212, p < 0.005). Conclusion Pediatric healthcare providers and caregivers demonstrated different perceptions of needs for palliative care. The results of this study can serve as a reference for the future development of guidelines related to children’s needs and related interventions.

“…Over 3.8 million women live with breast cancer in the United States, with a growing number living with advanced breast cancer (ABC) ( Giaquinto et al, 2022 ; Siegel et al, 2023 ). Despite breakthroughs in targeted treatment and improved survival, this population of women often suffer from unaddressed physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs ( Arnaud et al, 2021 ). These challenges represent a growing area of health disparities where Black and Latina women with ABC experience more severe distress and symptom burden, discordant provider communication, and inadequate symptom management, relative to White women ( Fu et al, 2009 ; Mott-Coles, 2014 ; Ren et al, 2019 ; White-Means & Osmani, 2017 ).…”

Purpose To examine the effectiveness of professionally led support groups for people with advanced or metastatic cancer, and identify factors critical to implementation success within real-world settings. Methods Databases (MEDLINE; PsychINFO; CINAHL) and grey literature were searched for empirical publications and evaluations. Articles were screened for eligibility and data systematically extracted, charted and summarised using a modified scoping review methodology. Implementation factors were mapped using Proctor’s implementation framework and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research 2.0. Results A total of 1691 publications were identified; 19 were eligible for inclusion (8 randomised controlled trials, 7 qualitative studies, 2 cohort studies, 2 mixed methods studies). Most (n=18) studies focused on tumour-specific support groups. Evidence supported professionally led support groups in reducing mood disturbances (n=5), distress (i.e. traumatic stress, depression) (n=4) and pain (n=2). Other benefits included social connectedness (n=6), addressing existential distress (n=5), information and knowledge (n=6), empowerment and sense of control (n=2), relationships with families (n=2) and communication with health professionals (n=2). Thirteen studies identified factors predicting successful adoption, implementation or sustainment, including acceptability (n=12; 63%), feasibility (n=6; 32%) and appropriateness (n=1; 5%). Key determinants of successful implementation included group leaders’ skills/experience, mode of operation, travelling distance, group composition and membership and resourcing. Conclusions Professionally led tumour-specific support groups demonstrate effectiveness in reducing mood disturbances, distress and pain among patients. Successful implementation hinges on factors such as leadership expertise, operational methods and resource allocation. Implications for Cancer Survivors Professionally led support groups may fill an important gap in supportive care for people with advanced or metastatic cancer.
