- W4321444949 abstract "Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to understand patients’ experiences undergoing cancer surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to COVID-19, many elective cancer surgeries were delayed creating a massive backlog of cases. Patients’ experiences with surgical delays may inform healthcare systems’ responses to the backlog of cases and guide preparations for future healthcare emergencies. Methods: This was a qualitative description study. Patients undergoing general surgery for cancer at two university-affiliated hospitals between March 2020 and January 2021 were invited to one-to-one interviews. Patients were purposefully selected using quota sampling until interviews produced no new information (i.e., thematic saturation). Interviews were conducted using a semi-structured guide and analyzed according to inductive thematic analysis. Results: Twenty patients were included [mean age 64±12.9; male ( n =10); surgical delay ( n =14); cancer sites: breast ( n =8), skin ( n =4), hepato-pancreato-biliary ( n =4), colorectal ( n =2), and gastro-esophageal ( n =2)]. When determining their willingness to undergo surgery, patients weighed the risk of COVID-19 infection against the urgency of their disease. Changes to the hospital environment (e.g., COVID-19 preventative measures) and deviations from expected treatment (e.g., alternative treatments, remote consultations, rescheduled care) caused diverse psychological responses, ranging from increased satisfaction to severe distress. Patients employed several coping strategies to mitigate distress, including eliciting reassurance from care providers, seeking information from unconventional sources, and reframing care interruptions. Conclusions: Changes in care during the pandemic elicited diverse psychological responses from patients undergoing cancer surgery. Coping was facilitated by consistent communication with providers, emphasizing the importance of patient-centered expectation setting as we prepare for the future within and beyond the pandemic." @default.
