Article Synopsis
- The study examines the experiences of Pacific peoples in Aotearoa New Zealand with cancer treatment, focusing on the disparities they face compared to other ethnic groups.
- Data were collected through interviews with Samoan and Tongan patients, revealing five significant themes: perceptions of cancer, the need for holistic support, importance of communication and trust, financial barriers to care, and the need for better representation in healthcare.
- The findings emphasize the necessity for improved oncology care models that address the unique cultural and systemic challenges faced by Pacific communities to enhance access and support.
Aims: The aim was to explore Endometrial cancer (EC) survivors' experiences of being offered nutrition and well-being advice.
Methods: This qualitative study was conducted at two tertiary centres in Aotearoa New Zealand. Semi-structured conversations with people who had completed treatment for EC in the past 12 months were undertaken to explore how they were offered nutrition and well-being advice as part of standard follow-up care.
