2020年1月7日，波多黎各南部地区发生6.4级地震，随后地震活动持续。我们的团队进行了二次分析，以探索地震活动暴露、获得的保护（支持）以及癌症患者获得医疗保健的障碍之间的关系。方法：研究小组从纵向病例对照队列家长研究数据库中收集了有关飓风玛丽亚对波多黎各癌症患者影响的数据。家长研究的参与者是在社区诊所招募的。提取的数据收集自 2020 年 1 月至 7 月（地震活动期）完成家长研究访谈的 51 名癌症患者。使用护理障碍问卷 (BCQ) 评估医疗保健障碍，该问卷由五个分量表组成：技能、边缘化、知识和信仰期望以及实用性。使用灾害心理社会影响量表中各自的子量表评估地震活动暴露和保护。结果：结果显示，地震活动暴露与医疗保健障碍 (p < 0.001) 及其五个分量表 (p < 0.01) 之间存在显着关系。这些结果揭示了在发生自然灾害时可能阻碍癌症患者治疗的潜在获得护理障碍。
On 7 January 2020, the southern region of Puerto Rico was struck by a 6.4 magnitude earthquake, followed by continual seismic activity. Our team performed secondary analyses to explore the relationship between exposure to seismic activity, protection (support) received, and barriers to health care access for cancer patients. Methods: The research team collected data from the database of a longitudinal case-control cohort parent study concerning the impact of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rican cancer patients. The participants from the parent study were recruited in community clinics. The extracted data was collected from 51 cancer patients who completed the parent study’s interviews from January–July 2020 (seismic activity period). Barriers to health care were assessed using the Barrier to Care Questionaries (BCQ), which is composed of five subscales: skills, marginalization, knowledge and beliefs expectations, and pragmatics. Exposure to seismic activity and protection was assessed using their respective subscales from the Scale of Psychosocial Impact of Disasters. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between exposure to seismic activity and barriers to health care (p < 0.001) and its five subscales (p < 0.01). These results shed light on potential access to care barriers that could hinder cancer patient treatment in the event of a natural disaster.
