Abstract
Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) who completed treatment and are disease-free face long-term care transition challenges. This quality improvement (QI) study explored CCS needs and captured feedback for the Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer Clinic (ASCC) program development. Participants were predominantly White and female; ages ranged from 1 to 17 years at diagnosis and 18 to 34 years at the time of the study. Surveys (n = 47) and interviews (n = 5) focused on the voice of the ASCC patient. REDCap facilitated descriptive survey analysis, while the rapid analysis of interviews identified high-level themes aligned with the survey findings. Nutrition and mental health needs were ranked equally as the top needs, and rapid interview analysis identified noteworthy gender-specific trends. Integrating the patient perspective helps ensure clinic programming is tailored to the patients it serves.
