"A strong reason why I enjoy coming to work": Clinician acceptability of a palliative and supportive care intervention (PACT) for older adults with acute myeloid leukemia and their care partners.

Introduction: Studies about clinician acceptability of integrative palliative care interventions in the inpatient and outpatient cancer settings are limited. In this study, we examined clinician acceptability of a NIH-funded interdisciplinary PAlliative and Supportive Care inTervention (PACT) for older adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and their care partners that transcends both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Materials And Methods: Data was collected using semi-structured interviews with clinicians who were directly involved in PACT.

Exploring Quality of Life Experiences and Concerns of Black Breast Cancer Survivors: a Narrative Approach.

Black breast cancer survivors (BCS) in comparison with White BCS are more likely to experience suboptimal quality of life (QoL). QoL is a multi-dimensional concept that focuses on different aspects of well-being (e.g.

Risk Factors of Health-Related Quality of Life among Gastrointestinal Cancer Survivors in the U.S.: With a Focus on Social and Behavioral Determinants of Health (SBDH).

Background: Increasing numbers of long-term gastrointestinal (GI) cancer survivors highlight the importance of understanding the factors contributing to their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We investigated the risk factors of HRQoL, including demographics, clinical characteristics, and social and behavioral determinants of health (SBDH).

Methods: Data on adult GI cancer survivors ( = 3201) from the Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFSS) surveys from 2014-2021 (except for 2015) were analyzed.

A Systematic Review of Interpersonal Interactions Related to Racism in Studies Assessing Breast and Gynecological Cancer Health Outcomes Among Black Women.

Objective: To identify how studies measure racism-related variables at the interpersonal level and identify associated breast and gynecological cancer disparities among Black women.

Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Searches were conducted in PubMed, CINAHL Plus, and Scopus using terms centered on racism and cancer.

Influence of social and behavioral determinants on health-related quality of life among cancer survivors in the USA.

Purpose: Cancer survivors experience a worse health-related quality of life (HRQoL) than non-cancer survivors. However, it is not fully understood whether social determinants of health (SDOH) and health behaviors are significantly associated with HRQoL among cancer survivors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of SDOH and health behaviors on HRQoL among cancer survivors.

Developing a Storytelling Study for African Americans with Hypertension:: A Study Protocol.

Objective: Storytelling is an engaging approach for promoting health and wellness among individuals with health conditions including type 2 diabetes (TTDM), breast cancer, and hypertension. Storytelling interventions are an evidence-based approach that has been effective in promoting behavioral change such as increasing physical activity, medication adherence, and making dietary changes. The use of storytelling to convey health information and promote behavior change is associated with increased engagement in self-management particularly in communities of color.

Examining medication adherence and preferences for a lifestyle intervention among Black and Latinx adults with hypertension: a feasibility study.

Background: Approximately 116.4 million adults in the USA have hypertension, and the rates of uncontrolled hypertension remain higher among racial and ethnic minorities. There is a need for effective interventions that promote healthy behaviors and long-term behavioral change in the management of hypertension.

Physical activity barriers and resources among black women with a history of breast and endometrial cancer: a systematic review.

Unlabelled: Physical inactivity is a significant public health problem among black women. However, there is limited evidence regarding barriers to physical activity and the availability of opportunities to engage in physical activity, specifically for posttreatment black women with a history of cancer.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper was to systematically review, summarize, and synthesize findings on physical activity-related research including barriers, facilitators, and resources for physical activity among posttreatment black women with a history of breast and endometrial cancer.

Understanding Nutritional Problems of Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients: Opportunities for Supportive Care Through eHealth.

Background: Metastatic breast cancer patients are now living longer but cope with potential symptoms of metastatic disease and prolonged cancer treatment. Nutrition can play a vital role in managing these sequelae, and eHealth tools are emerging as promising delivery options for nutrition interventions.

Objective: To qualitatively assess nutritional problems and concerns of women with metastatic breast cancer and to explore how to address these problems within an existing eHealth platform.

Church-Based Social Support's Impact on African-Americans' Physical Activity and Diet Varies by Support Type and Source.

The objective of this study was to examine sources (friends, family, church members, and pastors) and type (positive or negative) of social support and their association with eating and physical activity behaviors. Study participants consisted of 41 African-American adults (78% female), with an average age of 43.5 years (standard deviation = 15.
