      Background

      In consideration of the dynamic nature of cancer patients’ needs, systematic understanding of their unmet needs from a socio-ecological perspective may be essential as the patients’ needs and available services are likely to vary by different healthcare systems in different countries. To investigate the role of geographical influence in cancer patients’ unmet needs, this study seeks to compare the unmet needs of and available programs for cancer patients/survivors and their family members by different types of healthcare systems across different countries.

      The IPOS Survivorship Online Survey is distributed to international and regional Psycho-Oncology organization members, which covers countries in six continents. Survey participants’ countries where they practice/research will be categorized into four groups by the types of healthcare system: Beveridge Model, Bismarck Model, National Health Insurance Model, and Out-of-Pocket Model.

      With estimated survey to be completed by August 30th, 2018, repeated measures ANOVA will be employed to test differences in patients’ unmet needs by the four healthcare system groups, separately for patients’ unmet needs and their family caregivers’. Differences by individual countries will also be explored.

      Findings will provide a global overview and a specific knowledge of the geografical differences in the psychosocial unmet needs and psycho-oncological programs for cancer patients/survivors and their family members/caregivers. Findings will also guide how to prioritize areas of cancer care that require improvement in psycho-oncology interventions and practices; and to highlight critical aspects for delivering quality care that vary by healthcare systems.
