A Study on the Role of Spirituality and Faith during Cancer Treatment
Official Title
Patient perceptions about the role of spirituality and faith during cancer treatmentPurpose
The purpose of the current study is to characterize the perspectives of cancer patients who have undergone a cancer-directed surgery on the role of spirituality and/or religion during their cancer journey in order to better define the desired access to related resources during cancer care. Results from this study will inform future research aimed at addressing patient-centered spirituality/faith needs of cancer patients.
