Facing Uncertainty: The Existential Impact of Personalized Cancer Care
This study investigates how personalized cancer care shapes patients’ emotional resilience and their ability to cope with the uncertainties of serious illness. Through in-depth qualitative interviews, the research focuses on how tailored care influences patients’ existential experiences, such as their sense of time, bodily awareness, and relationships. The study aims to uncover surprising shifts in emotional clarity and acceptance as patients navigate their illness. Findings will provide healthcare providers with insights on supporting the deeper emotional and existential needs of cancer patients, contributing to more holistic and empathetic care practices.
Personalized Cancer Care and Decision-Making: Understanding Patient Agency
This study explores how personalized care impacts cancer patients’ sense of agency and involvement in their treatment decisions. By using a mixed-methods approach with surveys and interviews, the research examines how tailored care can enhance patients’ feelings of control, not just in their medical choices but across various aspects of their lives. The study aims to uncover how personalization affects patients’ autonomy, their relationships with healthcare providers, and their ability to engage meaningfully with their care. Insights from this research will help improve patient-centered care strategies in oncology, focusing on enhancing patient empowerment and engagement.
