dc.description.abstractIntroduction. Knowing and satisfying the needs of breast cancer (BC) patients (P) and their caregivers (CG) during treatment can help to improve their quality of life. This study assessed the needs of BC-P, their CG and health professionals (HP) and their perception before and after an intervention aiming to improve healthcare. Methods. The study included an academic center (AC) and a public hospital (PH). Data were obtained from interviews, focus groups and self-completed surveys. A content analysis was performed using Nvivo software. Due to COVID19 restrictions, educational videos were delivered to HPs describing the identified needs. Finally, satisfaction surveys were applied to P and CG, before and after this intervention. Results. A total of 22 participants were interviewed (7P, 5CG and 10HP). Three main needs were identified: 1) Healthcare related needs, 2) Financial issues and 3) Social support. Subsequently, a satisfaction survey was applied to users (stage I; n=93) and the identified needs were used to design an intervention that consisted of educational videos directed towards HP. Following the intervention a second survey was applied (stage II; n=71). Both surveys revealed high levels of satisfaction among users. Following the second survey, we noticed the emergence of other needs, mainly related to nutrition and the improvement of facilities. Conclusions. This is the first study in Chile assessing BC-P needs from the perspective of P, their CG and HP. All participants indicated that information and social/financial support were the most relevant needs.
