在过去20年中，在医院外接受强化医疗的病人比例稳步增加。积极的癌症化疗门诊患者（N = 413）接受治疗的社区进行了调查，以记录的患病率，并确定其日常生活需求的相关因素。总体而言，90%的样本需要帮助与某种类型的个人，工具或行政活动。患者报告最常需要协助进行繁重的家务、购物和填写表格和文书工作。超过四分之一（26.7%）的需要帮助的人报告说，他们的需要没有得到满足。男性、报告身体功能差的患者和家中有孩子的患者报告的需求水平更高。未得到满足的需求因对他人提供帮助的能力的信心程度、可提供帮助者的数量以及身体功能水平和年龄而异。这些结果和潜在的干预策略，以帮助患者在满足他们的需求之间的关系进行了讨论。
The proportion of patients who receive intensive medical treatment outside the hospital environment has increased steadily over the past two decades. Active cancer chemotherapy outpatients (N = 413) receiving treatment in the community were surveyed to document the prevalence and to identify the correlates of their daily living needs. Overall, 90% of the sample required help with some type of Personal, Instrumental or Administrative activity. Patients reported need for assistance with heavy housekeeping, shopping and completion of forms and paperwork most often. More than one-quarter (26.7%) of those requiring help reported that their need was unmet. Males, patients reporting poor physical functioning, and patients with children at home reported a greater level of need. Unmet need varied as a function of level of confidence in the ability of others to provide help, the number of helpers available as well as level of physical functioning and age. The relation between these results and potential intervention strategies to assist patients in meeting their needs is discussed.
