What does the Research say

Clinicians' understanding of the nuances of culture is crucial in enhancing the cancer survivorship experience for patients. Cultural sensitivity helps clinicians provide care that respects and aligns with patients' values, beliefs, and practices. This understanding can improve communication, build trust, and ensure that the emotional, social, and physical challenges of survivorship are addressed in a way that resonates with each individual. By acknowledging and incorporating cultural differences into care plans, clinicians can significantly impact the overall well-being and quality of life for cancer survivors.
