This study aims to determine the psychosocial correlates of self-reported adherence to cancer treatment appointments and treatment delays and interruptions. The sample included 622 immigrant cancer patients from New York City. Patients completed a survey that included sociodemographic and health-related questions, questions assessing missed appointments and delays/or interruptions, and quality of life and depression scales. After controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, having a positive depression screen and poor physical and emotional well-being were significant predictors of missed appointments and delays and/or interruptions of treatment. Non-adherence to treatment appointments in immigrant cancer patients is a complex outcome related to important modifiable or treatable factors.
本研究旨在确定自我报告的癌症治疗预约依从性、治疗延迟和中断的社会心理相关因素。样本包括来自纽约市的622名移民癌症患者。患者完成了一项调查，其中包括社会人口学和健康相关问题、评估错过预约和延迟/或中断情况的问题，以及生活质量和抑郁量表。在控制了社会人口学特征后，抑郁筛查呈阳性以及身体和情绪状况不佳是错过预约、治疗延迟和/或中断的重要预测因素。移民癌症患者不遵守治疗预约是一个与重要的可改变或可治疗因素相关的复杂结果。
