这项研究确定了局限性前列腺癌男性的关键未满足需求。一系列的名义组被用来确定的需求，从135项调查开发，以评估每个项目的重要性和未满足的需求。计算每个项目的重要性加权未满足需求评分，包括重要性和未满足需求的程度。调查（n = 500）分布在四个不同的地理区域，与46%的答复率。受访者90%为白人，80%已婚，平均年龄66岁，平均教育14年。提供护理的需求最重要，但未得到满足的需求最少，而支助需求最不重要，但未得到满足的需求最多。然而，当需求未被满足的程度按重要性加权时，信息需求的重要性加权未满足需求得分最高。对信息的最大未满足需求是对复发问题和疾病及其治疗的副作用的了解。(C)2002爱思唯尔科学爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
This study identified the key Unmet Needs of men with localized prostate cancer. A series of Nominal Groups were used to identify needs, from which a 135-item survey was developed to assess both the Importance and Unmet Need of each item. An Importance-Weighted Unmet Need score was calculated for each item, incorporating both the Importance and the degree to which the need was unmet. Surveys (n = 500) were distributed in four geographically distinct areas, with a response rate of 46%. Respondents were 90% Caucasian, 80% married, with a mean age of 66 years, and mean education of 14 years. Care delivery needs were most important and least unmet, while Support needs were least important and most unmet. However, when degree to which needs were unmet was weighted by Importance, information needs had the highest Importance-Weighted Unmet Need scores. The greatest Unmet Needs for information were in knowledge of recurrence issues and in side effects of the illness and its treatment. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
