Background Breast cancer survivor goes through a period of needs in their post-treatment daily life. Relatively few studies have been conducted to understand the unmet needs among breast cancer survivors in Bangladesh. Recognize and measure patterns and predictors of unmet needs of breast cancer patients was the aim of the study. Objective To identify and measure patterns and predictors of unmet needs of breast cancer patients in Bangladesh. Method A cross-sectional study among 138 breast cancer patients; conveniently selected from two public and two private cancer institutes. Face-to-face interview for data collection and medical record review for checklist was done. Unmet needs have been determined by the supportive care needs survey short form 34 scale. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the predictors of unmet needs. Results The study indicated the top 10 moderate-to-high needs; among which the top five needs were from the information need domain. Surprisingly, private cancer treatment centers were identified as a significant predictor for unmet needs. Patients from private cancer institutes reported more explanation needs as well as needs with their physical and daily living and sexuality. Furthermore, the type of treatment like patient receiving combine treatment therapy reported more need for help compared to the patient receiving chemotherapy alone. Moreover, housewives reported the low need for patient care and support systems as a result of their reluctant behavior towards their health. Conclusion Individual’s unmet need assessment should be a part of every treatment protocol of breast cancer for a better treatment outcome.

e21552 Background: Despite high rates of breast cancer (BC) in young Mexican women, information about their particular needs and concerns is largely unknown. Understanding the patients individual needs in a population with unique socio-cultural features is essential to guide supportive care and improve their quality of life. We aim to describe the unmet needs of Mexican young women with breast cancer (YWBC). Methods: A cross-sectional study including women with stage I-III BC aged 40 years or younger at diagnosis was conducted at the National Cancer Institute in Mexico City. YWBC were invited to complete the Supportive Care Needs Survey, Short Form-34 (SCNS-SF34), a comprehensive tool that measures the perceived unmet needs of cancer patients. The survey was previously adapted and validated in our population for its use. Results: 81 consecutive patients with median age at diagnosis of 35.09 (SD 3.9) years were included. 45.7% were married and 29.2% completed secondary school. 92.6% had stage II-III BC. 70.4% were undergoing active treatment and 29.6% were either on hormonal therapy or surveillance. From a total standardized score of 100, the health systems and information domain had the highest mean score (39.3), followed by the psychological domain (36.3). The sexuality domain had the lowest mean score (27). The highest ranked items of unmet needs (by mean crude score) were: to be informed about cancer is under control or diminishing (2.9), to be informed about things you can do to help yourself get well (2.8), lack of energy and fatigue (2.7), and fear about the cancer spreading (2.7). Perceived needs among patients undergoing active treatment were greater compared to those in follow-up (z = -2.390 p = 0.017), predominantly in the sexuality domain (z = -2.084 p = 0.037). Conclusions: Mexican YWBC have specific needs that are currently not systematically addressed. The predominant unmet need regarding health systems and information should be a priority. Further research to understand the needs and concerns of this unique and understudied patient population will aid tailor clinical interventions and supportive care.

The Impact

184 Background: While evidence of the challenges of cancer caregiving has been growing, scant research addresses the experience of partners of young adults with cancer. These individuals and their relationships may be particularly vulnerable to stress, especially when managing the complexity of cancer care and survivorship with their partner. We sought to evaluate psychosocial concerns and mental health in the partners of young survivors of early stage breast cancer (BC). Methods: We invited partners of young women w/BC diagnosed at age ≤ 40 yrs enrolled in a prospective cohort study to participate in a one-time survey evaluating psychosocial concerns including quality of life, coping, social support, financial insecurity, partnership concerns, parenting concerns, anxiety and depression. Logistic regression was used to explore predictors of anxiety (score > 8 on Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)). Results: Most respondents (284/289) were male, with median age 43 yrs (range 27-65). The median time of survey completion was 62 months (range 16 -114) after their partner’s dx. Respondents were mostly white (93%), working full time (94%), and college educated (78%); 29% reported some financial stress, 74% were parenting children < 18 yrs, and 32% reported at least a fair amount of relationship concern. 42% (106/250) had anxiety (39/289 respondents (13%) had incomplete/missing HADS). In univariable analyses, lower education, working full time, parenting concerns, insufficient social support and maladaptive coping were associated (p < .05) with anxiety. In the multivariable model, only maladaptive coping remained significantly associated with anxiety (p < .01, OR = 2.32 (95% CI: 1.22, 4.39)). Conclusions: Partners of young BC survivors who used less constructive/more maladaptive coping strategies experience negative mental health outcomes after tx has ended. Caregivers’ anxiety may have implications for both their own and survivors’ health and QOL. Future interventions might focus on the development of constructive coping strategies to enhance adjustment and role effectiveness in dealing with the impact of cancer.
