Despite the increasing usages of technology-based programs, few technology-based support programs are currently available for racial/ethnic minority cancer survivors including Korean-American cancer survivors. The purpose of this study was to explore the attitudes toward technology-based cancer support programs among Korean-American cancer survivors from a feminist perspective. In-person focus group interviews were held with 17 Korean-American cancer survivors. All the interviews were recorded by writing memos. Then, the written memos were analyzed using a content analysis. Four major themes reflecting their attitudes toward technology-based cancer-support programs were identified: (a) "easy to access"; (b) "good for peer and family support," (c) "overcoming language barriers," and (d) "providing Korean-specific and personalized trustable information." Future technology-based cancer support groups for this specific population need to incorporate peer support, support for family members, Korean language, and Korea-specific information and intervention components.
尽管基于技术的程序的使用越来越多,但目前针对少数族裔癌症幸存者(包括韩裔美国癌症幸存者)的基于技术的支持计划却很少。本研究的目的是从女性主义的角度探讨韩裔美国癌症幸存者对基于技术的癌症支持计划的态度。通过面对面的焦点小组访谈,对 17 名韩裔美国癌症幸存者进行了访谈。所有访谈均通过书面记录进行记录。然后,使用内容分析法对书面记录进行分析。确定了反映他们对基于技术的癌症支持计划的态度的四个主要主题:(a)“易于访问”;(b)“对同伴和家庭支持有益”;(c)“克服语言障碍”;以及(d)“提供特定于韩国的个性化可信赖信息”。针对这一特定人群的未来基于技术的癌症支持小组需要结合同伴支持,对家庭成员的支持,韩语以及韩国特定信息和干预组成部分。
