Using a feminist perspective, the relationship between acculturation and cancer pain experience was explored.
This was a cross-sectional, correlational Internet study among 104 Hispanic and 114 Asian cancer patients. The instruments included both unidimensional and multidimensional cancer pain measures.
There were significant differences in cancer pain scores by country of birth. Yet there was no significant association of acculturation to cancer pain scores.
This study indicated inconsistent findings.
To provide directions for adequate cancer pain management, further studies with a larger number of diverse groups of immigrant cancer patients are needed.
本研究从女性主义视角出发,探讨了文化适应与癌症疼痛体验之间的关系。
这是一项针对 104 名西班牙裔和 114 名亚裔癌症患者的横断面、相关性互联网研究。研究工具包括单维度和多维度的癌症疼痛评估量表。
不同出生地的患者癌症疼痛评分存在显著差异,但文化适应与癌症疼痛评分无显著相关性。
本研究结果不一致。
为了提供充分的癌症疼痛管理方向,需要对更多不同族裔的移民癌症患者进行更大规模的研究。
