TL;DR
Important cultural needs of Filipino patients with cancer as well as strategies to provide more culturally competent care were identified and three main themes emerged: support of the family, perception of symptoms, and communication preferences.
Abstract
Nursing strategies important to the Filipino patients with cancer were including family when planning and delivering care, assessing symptoms with open-ended questions, frequently asking patients how they are doing, using gentle nondirect communication, and smiling. Culturally specific information should be included in nursing education. More research needs to be done with Filipino patients with cancer.
