How Blogs Provide a New Framework for Examining QOL of Younger Breast Cancer Survivors
This is my abstract for the Medicine 2.0 Conference.
Background: The statistics of increased length of survival for women diagnosed with breast cancer give no indication of the quality of life (QOL) experienced. In describing the psychosocial adjustment of life after cancer treatment, younger women in particular convey a unique sense of loneliness, termed survivor loneliness. They report more unmet needs, experience greater emotional distress and a greater search for meaning in their lives. Many are turning to blogs to find a sense of connection and a means of self construct. These blog narratives can provide researchers with a new framework for enhanced understanding of the lived experience of cancer survivorship.

Thomas Santo writes that one hurdle to capitalizing on this new wave of patient engagement is the fact that the market is full of products that are unlikely to produce any long-term health benefits, with more beneficial, substantive tools interspersed in between. He asks the question: How then can a patient decide which products to invest their time, money and motivation in?

See on Scoop.it – Health Care Social Media Monitor
A physician’s approach to the doctor-patient relationship may affect how engaged patients are in their health care, according to a new study.
Marie Ennis-O’Connor‘s insight:
According to the report: Patients with chronic illnesses whose doctors communicate well, treat them fairly and respectfully, and have more contact with them outside of office visits are more involved in their health care than are patients whose doctors lack these behaviors.
