| dc.description.abstract | Researchers have focused on understanding the healthcare needs and psychosocial challenges experienced by cancer patients and survivors. However, investigators have focused less on the particular needs and challenges experienced by medically underserved ethnic minorities who are affected by cancer. In this study, seven key informants and four lung and five head-and-neck Latino cancer patients diagnosed at a safety-net hospital in Denver, CO were interviewed concerning the difficulties these patients face navigating the healthcare system as well as the patient factors that contribute to these difficulties. The study also inquired about potential resources that might mitigate the needs and challenges patients experience during cancer treatment. Ethnographic Content Analysis was employed to analyze the data obtained from the interviews. The long-term goal is to utilize this data to develop and implement a patient navigation program for low-income Latinos diagnosed with lung and head-and-neck cancers at a safety-net hospital in Denver, CO. | |
