Gynecological cancer (GC) survivors desire holistic, person-centred, supportive care interventions to address their unmet needs after treatment. The development of such interventions requires an understanding of both the expectations and needs of GC survivors. The purpose of this study was to understand GC survivors' expectations and needs for post treatment, and to consider how their expectations and needs converge and diverge to inform care.
A convergent mixed-methods design (QUAL+quant) was used. Qualitative data were collected via 1:1 telephone interviews. Quantitative data were collected using the Cancer Survivors' Unmet Needs measure.
Twenty-four individuals participated. Survivors' expectations for interventions after treatment included the implementation and outcomes of interventions and were grouped into two themes: and . The most common unmet needs were related to existential survivorship. However, mixed-methods analysis revealed participants primarily expected to have their informational needs met in post-treatment interventions.
Study findings illuminate GC survivors' expectations and needs after treatment, and the importance of analyzing both when planning and providing care. Clinicians may use these findings to develop and refine interventions to address unmet needs of GC survivors.
妇科癌症（GC）幸存者希望获得全面、以患者为中心的支持性护理干预措施，以满足其治疗后未得到满足的需求。开发此类干预措施需要了解GC幸存者的期望和需求。本研究的目的是了解GC幸存者对治疗后护理的期望和需求，并思考其期望和需求如何趋同与分歧，以为护理提供参考。
采用了收敛性混合方法设计（QUAL+quant）。定性数据通过一对一电话访谈收集。定量数据使用癌症幸存者未满足需求量表收集。
24人参与。幸存者对治疗后干预措施的期望包括干预措施的实施和结果，并分为两个主题： 和 。最常见的未满足需求与生存意义相关。然而，混合方法分析显示，参与者主要期望在治疗后干预中满足其信息需求。
研究结果阐明了GC幸存者治疗后的期望和需求，以及在规划和提供护理时对两者进行分析的重要性。临床医生可利用这些结果来开发和完善干预措施，以满足GC幸存者未满足的需求。
