病人导航是一个以障碍为重点的护理协调计划，旨在为医疗服务不足的少数民族和穷人提供及时和高质量的癌症相关护理。然而，据作者所知，很少有研究到目前为止已经检查了导航和癌症相关care.METHODSThe作者的满意度之间的关系，包括1345例患者的数据异常癌症筛查试验或明确的癌症诊断谁参加了患者导航研究计划，以测试患者导航的疗效。参与者完成了人口统计学问卷和癌症相关护理（PSCC）和患者满意度与导航员（PSN-I）的人际关系的患者满意度的措施。作者获得了描述性统计数据来描述样本的特征，并进行了回归分析，以评估PSN-I和PSCC之间的关联程度，控制人口统计学和临床因素。方差分析用于检验控制统计学显著性协变量的组间差异。在癌症筛查试验异常的患者中，发现PSCC和PSN-I之间存在统计学显著性关系（1040例患者;相关系数（r）为0.4 [P
BACKGROUNDPatient navigation is a barrier-focused program of care coordination designed to achieve timely and high-quality cancer-related care for medically underserved racial-ethnic minorities and the poor. However, to the authors' knowledge, few studies to date have examined the relationship between satisfaction with navigators and cancer-related care.METHODSThe authors included data from 1345 patients with abnormal cancer screening tests or a definitive cancer diagnosis who participated in the Patient Navigation Research Program to test the efficacy of patient navigation. Participants completed demographic questionnaires and measures of patient satisfaction with cancer-related care (PSCC) and patient satisfaction with interpersonal relationship with navigator (PSN-I). The authors obtained descriptive statistics to characterize the sample and conducted regression analyses to assess the degree of association between PSN-I and PSCC, controlling for demographic and clinical factors. Analyses of variance were conducted to examine group differences controlling for statistically significant covariates.RESULTSStatistically significant relationships were found between the PSCC and PSN-I for patients with abnormal cancer screening tests (1040 patients; correlation coefficient (r), 0.4 [P
