摘要:: The Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF), Cleveland Clinic Cancer Center, Oncology Nursing Task Force, and the Cuyahoga County Unit of the American Cancer Society cosponsored "EXPO '88: Recovering from Cancer" on the first National Cancer Survivors' Day. The day featured educational workshops, a fashion show, and a celebration of cancer survivorship. The needs of cancer survivors were evaluated by means of a self-administered survey of cancer survivors attending the EXPO. The cross-section of survivors represented by 71 respondents expressed interest in prevention/detection programs, psychosocial issues such as family and physician communications, economic issues, and peer support groups. A majority of our respondents (51%) had been diagnosed less than three years earlier as having cancer, but 73% had completed active treatment. Prevention/Detection was the number one interest topic reported by respondents. They were almost universally supportive (97%) of peer group sessions to address survivor issues. The formation of the Northeast Ohio Cancer Survivors' Group, which meets monthly, is a direct result of the positive response to the survey by cancer survivors. This report suggests for cancer educators the interest of cancer survivors in a peer support group and the information and counseling needs that could be addressed in this setting.
