Abstract


Objectif : Les survivantes d’un cancer gynécologique souhaitent bénéficier d’interventions de soutien holistiques et axées sur la personne pour répondre aux besoins non satisfaits après le traitement. L’élaboration de ce genre d’interventions nécessite de comprendre à la fois les attentes et les besoins des survivantes de cancer gynécologique. L’objectif de la présente étude était de comprendre les attentes et les besoins des survivantes de cancer gynécologique après le traitement, et d’examiner comment ces attentes et ces besoins convergent et divergent afin d’orienter les soins.

Méthodologie : L’étude faisait appel à un devis convergent à méthodes mixtes (qualitative+quantitative) parallèles. Les données qualitatives ont été recueillies lors d’entrevues téléphoniques individuelles. Les données quantitatives ont été recueillies à l’aide du questionnaire sur les besoins non satisfaits des survivants au cancer (Cancer Survivors’ Unmet Needs). 

Résultats : En tout, 24 personnes ont participé à l’étude. Les attentes des survivantes par rapport à la période post-traitement comprenaient deux catégories d’interventions (tant pour la mise en œuvre que pour les résultats) : la lutte contre l’inconnu et l’information fiable pour renforcer les capacités. Les besoins non satisfaits les plus courants touchaient l’aspect existentiel de la survivance; toutefois, l’analyse à méthodes mixtes a révélé que les participantes s’attendaient surtout à ce que les interventions post-traitement comblent leurs besoins informationnels. 

Conclusion : Les conclusions mettent en lumière les attentes et les besoins des survivantes de cancer gynécologique après le traitement, de même que l’importance d’analyser le moment où il convient de planifier les soins et de les dispenser. Les cliniciens pourront utiliser ces conclusions pour concevoir et raffiner les interventions visant à répondre aux besoins non satisfaits des survivantes de cancer gynécologique.
