这项研究探讨了物理治疗的全部潜力是否能够在肿瘤过程的各个阶段发挥到癌症患者及其护理人员的作用，旨在找出改善护理的差距和机会。世界咖啡馆联合设计方法促进了癌症患者和护理人员之间的讨论。这种充满活力、包容性和参与性的方法通过协作和灵活的讨论培养了不同的观点和更深入的见解。会议被记录、转录和定性分析。涉及十六名参与者（八名癌症幸存者和八名护理人员）。癌症幸存者的平均年龄为 63.8 岁，而护理人员的平均年龄为 59.3 岁。乳腺癌是患者中最常见的诊断，大多数护理人员都因癌症失去了家人。分析揭示了两个主要主题：“感觉被照顾”和“物理治疗在肿瘤过程中的作用”。主要发现强调需要更加人性化的医疗保健，并由专业人员通过有效的沟通和同理心提供支持。在系统转介物理治疗师和他们融入护理团队方面都发现了显着差距。证词强调，人们对物理治疗在肿瘤学中的全部潜力缺乏了解，这阻碍了人们的获取。还需要认可专门的肿瘤物理治疗师。这些发现凸显了癌症幸存者和护理人员的物理治疗护理方面的巨大差距，包括由于缺乏信息、资源和有效沟通而导致的需求未得到满足。未来的努力应集中于提高物理治疗的知名度，将专业的物理治疗师融入肿瘤团队，并加强医疗保健专业人员的情感教育，以提供更人性化的护理。© 2024。作者。

This study explores whether the full potential of physiotherapy is reaching cancer patients and their caregivers at all stages of the oncological process, aiming to identify gaps and opportunities for improving care.The World Cafe co-design methodology facilitated discussions among cancer patients and caregivers. This dynamic, inclusive, and engaging approach fostered diverse perspectives and deeper insights through collaborative and flexible discussions. Sessions were recorded, transcribed, and qualitatively analyzed.Sixteen participants were involved (eight cancer survivors and eight caregivers). The mean age of cancer survivors was 63.8 years, while the average age of caregivers was 59.3 years. Breast cancer was the most prevalent diagnosis among patients, and most caregivers had lost their family members to cancer. Analysis revealed two primary themes: "feeling cared for" and "the role of physiotherapy in the oncological process." Key findings highlight the need for more humanized healthcare, with professionals providing support through effective communication and empathy. Significant gaps were detected in both systematic referrals to physiotherapists and their integration into care teams. Testimonies highlighted the lack of knowledge about the full potential of physiotherapy in oncology, hindering access. There was also a demand for recognizing specialized oncological physiotherapists.These findings highlight significant gaps in physiotherapy care for cancer survivors and caregivers, including unmet needs due to the lack of information, resources, and effective communication. Future efforts should focus on increasing the visibility of physiotherapy, integrating specialized physiotherapists into oncology teams, and enhancing the emotional education of healthcare professionals to provide more humanized care.© 2024.
