Purpose: The goal of the present study was to evaluate predictors of unmet supportive care needs and readiness for help among gyneco- logical cancer patients. Methods: A sample of 113 gynecological cancer survivors completed a measure of needs and desire for help. Regression analyses identi- ed sociodemographic and medical predictors of patient needs and desire for help. Results: Younger age and shorter time since treatment were the stron- gest predictors of many unmet needs. Younger age and chemotherapy predicted greater unmet sexual health needs. Shorter time since treat- ment predicted readiness for help with informational needs. Conclusions: Post-treatment unmet needs are diverse and may be greater in younger and recently treated survivors. Chemotherapy treatment may contribute to greater sexual health needs. |
