It is almost impossible for someone of middle-class background who has never had cancer to fully understand the plight of low-income women with cancer without first gaining the kind of insight that Understanding and Assisting Low-Income Women with Cancer provides. The scope of Understanding and Assisting Low-Income Women with Cancer ranges from the personal experience of four low-income women with cancer to a more global view of poverty and cancer. You'll gain valuable insight into the experiences of these women as they relate to treatment, environmental and financial circumstances, societal attitudes, and familial relationships and roles. This informed view will give you the information necessary to offer the best possible care to these women.

Teach effective problem-solving programs for nonprofessional cancer patient caregivers who have a limited knowledge of the disease! Family caregivers are often uninformed about what they should do with family members with cancer; they are unskilled in carrying out caregiver duties and are emotionally involved as well. The Application to Problem-Solving Therapy to Psychosocial Oncology Care will help novices and expert professionals in the areas of nursing, social work, psychology, ministry, and cancer support programs learn how to introduce problem-solving concepts that can benefit cancer patients and families in counseling sessions, formal education programs, or in everyday clinical practice. This book covers examples and strategies that you can teach to adult and child cancer patients and their adult family caregivers to help improve the quality of lives for everyone involved. From The Application to Problem-Solving Therapy to Psychosocial Oncology, you will discover innovative programs that you can implement with little knowledge of the disease itself to assist individuals in all aspects of the care process. Some of the researched suggestions and methods that will assist you in the care process include: teaching family caregivers problem-solving therapy to manage stress and fatigue in groups and via voice mail for caregivers with limited time to spend in classes understanding how cancer patients and families can use problem-solving principals to relieve cancer pain with the COPE model learning maternal problem-solving therapy in pediatric care using online information and support resources such as COPELINE and the CHESS program In The Application to Problem-Solving Therapy to Psychosocial Oncology, you will also discover information on a multitude of online and hands-on support programs that you can implement to assist family caregivers of cancer patients. Each program focuses on problem-solving skills to help overcome the obstacles of caregiving, giving you relevant and effective strategies for alleviating stress and creating more positive outlooks for cancer patients and their caregivers.

Cancer is low or absent on the health agendas of low- and middle-income countries (LMCs) despite the fact that more people die from cancer in these countries than from AIDS and malaria combined. International health organizations, bilateral aid agencies, and major foundations—which are instrumental in setting health priorities—also have largely ignored cancer in these countries. This book identifies feasible, affordable steps for LMCs and their international partners to begin to reduce the cancer burden for current and future generations. Stemming the growth of cigarette smoking tops the list to prevent cancer and all the other major chronic diseases. Other priorities include infant vaccination against the hepatitis B virus to prevent liver cancers and vaccination to prevent cervical cancer. Developing and increasing capacity for cancer screening and treatment of highly curable cancers (including most childhood malignancies) can be accomplished using "resource-level appropriateness" as a guide. And there are ways to make inexpensive oral morphine available to ease the pain of the many who will still die from cancer.

Cancer care today often provides state-of-the-science biomedical treatment, but fails to address the psychological and social (psychosocial) problems associated with the illness. This failure can compromise the effectiveness of health care and thereby adversely affect the health of cancer patients. Psychological and social problems created or exacerbated by cancer-including depression and other emotional problems; lack of information or skills needed to manage the illness; lack of transportation or other resources; and disruptions in work, school, and family life-cause additional suffering, weaken adherence to prescribed treatments, and threaten patients' return to health. Today, it is not possible to deliver high-quality cancer care without using existing approaches, tools, and resources to address patients' psychosocial health needs. All patients with cancer and their families should expect and receive cancer care that ensures the provision of appropriate psychosocial health services. Cancer Care for the Whole Patient recommends actions that oncology providers, health policy makers, educators, health insurers, health planners, researchers and research sponsors, and consumer advocates should undertake to ensure that this standard is met.

Cancer ranks second only to heart disease as a leading cause of death in the United States, making it a tremendous burden in years of life lost, patient suffering, and economic costs. Fulfilling the Potential for Cancer Prevention and Early Detection reviews the proof that we can dramatically reduce cancer rates. The National Cancer Policy Board, part of the Institute of Medicine, outlines a national strategy to realize the promise of cancer prevention and early detection, including specific and wide-ranging recommendations. Offering a wealth of information and directly addressing major controversies, the book includes: A detailed look at how significantly cancer could be reduced through lifestyle changes, evaluating approaches used to alter eating, smoking, and exercise habits. An analysis of the intuitive notion that screening for cancer leads to improved health outcomes, including a discussion of screening methods, potential risks, and current recommendations. An examination of cancer prevention and control opportunities in primary health care delivery settings, including a review of interventions aimed at improving provider performance. Reviews of professional education and training programs, research trends and opportunities, and federal programs that support cancer prevention and early detection. This in-depth volume will be of interest to policy analysts, cancer and public health specialists, health care administrators and providers, researchers, insurers, medical journalists, and patient advocates.

In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
