“…This finding is consistent with earlier research (Calvio, Peugeot, Bruns, Todd, & Feuerstein, 2010;Hansen et al, 2008;Lavigne, Griggs, Tu, & Lerner, 2008). Chinese BCS also reported significantly higher cognitive limitations (Calvio et al, 2010;Hansen et al, 2008) and higher percentages of work productivity loss (Hansen et al, 2008;Lavigne et al, 2008) than in woman without breast cancer. In this study, BCS had significantly higher work limitations (as measured by work productivity loss) than women with work-related musculoskeletal injuries, which are commonly related to work limitations.…”

“…It is well established that post-treatment cancer survivors are at risk for a multitude of physical and psychosocial long-term and late effects of treatment: Adult and pediatric cancer survivors may be at increased risk for cardiac issues, persistent fatigue, chronic pain, anxiety, secondary neoplasms, infertility, anxiety and depression, and many other problems. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] The recent Institute of Medicine report on cancer survivorship found that many cancer survivors do not receive appropriate post-treatment care and that there is rarely a clear post-treatment care plan in place at the end of treatment. The report makes 10 specific recommendations for high-quality cancer survivorship care; one key recommendation is the creation of a cancer treatment summary and SCP document for every patient to facilitate post-treatment surveillance and coordination of care and to empower the patient and the health care team.…”

Purpose: This qualitative study examined cancer survivorship programs at four health care organizations in Los Angeles County, CA: an academic medical center, a community hospital, a primary-care medical group, and a county hospital. The purpose was to describe the successful implementation of four distinctly different models of care, focusing on the creative development and use of the Institute of Medicine-recommended survivorship care plan (SCP) document in each setting. Methods:In-depth semistructured interviews were done with survivorship teams to characterize each program and the development and use of the SCP at each institution.Results: Each survivorship program has developed and implemented unique types of SCP documents. Specifically, a comprehensive SCP at the academic center, completed by the clinical team, which covers many facets of cancer survivorship; a patient-directed SCP at the community hospital, completed by the survivor with assistance of an oncology nurse and focused on treatment history and appropriate surveillance; an adapted ASCO SCP template at the primary-care medical group, completed via a partnership with contracted oncologists and focused on the treatment history, surveillance, and shared care between oncology and primary care; an adapted ASCO SCP template at the county hospital, completed by the survivorship nurse practitioner and focused on patient education, post-treatment care, and institutional care coordination. Conclusion:The SCP document is a flexible tool that can be successfully adapted for use in extremely varied settings, from primary care to hospitals, to inform and educate patients and providers alike.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of menopausal symptoms and menopausal symptom severity on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), work impairment, healthcare utilization, and costs. Methods: Data from the 2005 United States National Health and Wellness Survey were used, with only women 40-64 years without a history of cancer included in the analyses (N = 8,811). Women who reported experiencing menopausal symptoms (n = 4,116) were compared with women not experiencing menopausal symptoms (n = 4,695) on HRQoL, work impairment, and healthcare utilization using regression modeling (and controlling for demographics and health characteristic differences). Additionally, individual menopausal symptoms were used as predictors of outcomes in a separate set of regression models. Results: The mean age of women in the analysis was 49.8 years (standard deviation, -5.9). Women experiencing menopausal symptoms reported significantly lower levels of HRQoL and significantly higher work impairment, and healthcare utilization than women without menopausal symptoms. Depression, anxiety, and joint stiffness were symptoms with the strongest associations with health outcomes. Conclusions: Menopausal symptoms can be a significant humanistic and economic burden on women in middle age.
