요약 | Introduction: Studies centered on understanding quality of life (QoL) among Native American cancer survivors are underrepresented in the literature. This knowledge gap presents a risk of underestimating and failing to adequately address the true burden of cancer in this population.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to gain a person-centered, comprehensive understanding of factors that influence QoL among Native American cancer survivors and how they manifest in survivors daily lives.Methods: We used a convergent mixed methods design to analyze data from 831 QoL surveys and 52 interviews with geographically and clinically diverse samples of Native cancer survivors. We employed latent class analysis (LCA) to identify "classes" of survivors with similar response patterns across physical, mental/emotional, social, and spiritual QoL domains (quantitative) and thematic analysis to identify themes of advice survivors' had for other Native survivors and how that advice reflected survivors' experiences and QoL after diagnosis (qualitative). Findings from the quantitative and qualitative studies were integrated to identify "meta-themes" of factors that influence QoL after cancer and how those factors operate in the context of survivors' daily lives.Results: LCA identified four classes of survivors with unique QoL profiles: Positive QoL (42%) |
