| Popis: | Breast and endometrial cancer survivors referred to the Wellness Beyond Cancer Program were invited to a survivorship education class. As not all survivors attended the class, this study aimed to identify socio-demographic and medical characteristics, and survivorship needs that predict attendance. A chart review was conducted on survivors who completed a needs assessment survey between 2012 and 2014 (n=144 endometrial; n=170 breast). Class attendees' characteristics were compared to those of non-attendees using t-tests, chi-square analyses, and regression analysis. Univariate analyses showed that age, distance from hospital, emotional and physical needs, and receiving chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy were associated with class attendance. Distance from hospital and physical needs were identified as multivariate predictors. The results of this study will help inform class content, improve class attendance, and identify attendees' characteristics. |
