to identify the repercussions of financial toxicity on the lives of adult cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
an integrative review was conducted using the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase databases, as well as the Virtual Health Library portal, in March 2023.
out of 62 studies found, 13 were included for analysis. The primary repercussions of financial toxicity included difficulties in covering basic expenses such as food, housing, medication, transportation, and internet access; increased anxiety and concerns related to health and financial situations; reduction or absence of income; challenges in obtaining treatment or accessing healthcare services; rising expenses; and telemedicine as a less burdensome alternative.
the pandemic has exacerbated financial toxicity; therefore, healthcare teams must recognize it as an adverse event of oncological treatment and understand its potential to affect various aspects of patients' lives.
确定 COVID-19 大流行期间财务毒性对成年癌症患者生活的影响。
2023 年 3 月，使用 PubMed、Web of Science、Scopus 和 Embase 数据库以及 Virtual Health Library 门户进行了综合评价。
在 62 项研究中，有 13 项被纳入分析。财务毒性的主要影响包括难以支付食物、住房、药物、交通和互联网接入等基本费用；增加对健康和财务状况的焦虑和担忧；收入减少或没有收入；在获得治疗或获得医疗保健服务方面遇到挑战；费用增加；以及远程医疗作为一种负担较小的替代方案。
大流行加剧了财务毒性；因此，医疗保健团队必须将其视为肿瘤治疗的不良事件，并了解其对患者生活各个方面的潜在影响。
