- W4377013020 abstract "Abstract Background The cancer burden is a global public health concern associated with high morbidities and mortalities. Low and middle-income countries are more affected including South Africa. Limited access to oncology services contributes to the late presentation, late diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. In the Eastern Cape, oncology services were previously centralized with negative effects on the quality of life of the already compromised health status of the oncology patients. To mitigate the situation, a new oncology unit was opened to decentralize oncology services in the province. Little is known about the experiences of patients after this transformation. That prompted this inquiry. Aim This study aims to explore the experiences of cancer patients regarding the decentralization of oncology services at a tertiary hospital in the Eastern Cape. Methodology A qualitative approach with a descriptive, explorative, and contextual design was undertaken, to obtain the perspective of oncology recipients following the decentralization of oncology services at a selected public tertiary hospital in the Eastern Cape. After obtaining ethical clearance and permission to conduct the study, interviews were conducted with 19 participants. All interviews were transcribed verbatim against their audio recordings. Field notes were taken by the primary researcher. The concept of trustworthiness was used to ensure rigour throughout this study. Thematic analysis was done using Tesch’s approach to open coding in qualitative research. Results Three themes emerged from the data analysis: 1) Access to oncology services; 2) Oncology services provided; and 3) Need for improved infrastructural facilities. Conclusion The majority of patients had positive experiences with the unit. The waiting time was acceptable, and medication was available. Access to services was improved. The staff had a positive attitude towards patients receiving cancer treatment." @default.
