Example of Survivorship Study Addressing Health Disparities

PURPOSE: “To assess the prevalence of depression among low-income, ethnic minority women with breast or gynecologic cancer, receipt of antidepressant medications

  • r counseling services, and correlates of depression”
  • 24% of ethnic minority, low-income women (N= 472) with

breast or gynecologic cancer report moderate to severe levels of depression

  • 12% with diagnosis of major depression receive

psychotropic medications

  • 5% see counselor or attend support group

Sociocultural Barriers

  • Time orientation
  • Spiritual/religious beliefs which support

passivity, discontent, or demonic reappraisal (Pargament et al, 2001)

  • Mistrust of western medicine, health

providers, or health care system

  • Cultural beliefs that cancer is a stigma,

curse, or shameful affliction

Psychological Barriers

  • Low risk perception (see Rajaran et al, 1998)
  • Impaired cognitive functioning
  • Mood disorder
  • Fear
  • Pattern of “delay behavior” for symptoms
  • Poor communication with health provider,

family, caregiver

  • Perceived discrimination

California Health Interview Survey:

Perceived Discrimination “The process by which a member of a socially defined group is treated differently because of membership in that group”

  • Do cancer survivors perceived

discrimination in their health care?

  • Do “socially defined groups” of cancer

survivors perceive discrimination at differential rates?

  • Is perceived discrimination indirectly

related to outcomes of follow up care?

"Supervivencia"

“… literally means "super living". It is tantamount to being super human, superman/superwoman, living larger than life, living a life that is truly miraculous. This is the deeper meaning that is easily conveyed by Spanish and not as easily transmitted in English. Papa and I had to look up the word because neither

  • f us remembered it, but the moment we said it I

realized we could write an article or book chapter

  • n the meaning of life and living with cancer and

survival of cancer in Spanish speaking cultures…”
