Influencing Factors of Unmet Care Needs Among Taiwanese Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer during Acute Stage of Survivorship: A Preliminary Study

The preliminary study indicated that survivors' diverse dimensions of unmet care needs varied by personal characteristics, psychological distress and QoL. It is recommended to closely monitor NMIBC survivors especially while undergoing 1-2 cycles of TURBT and experiencing anxiety, concerns about the future worries, and bloating and flatulence symptoms, to alleviate the impacts of their care needs. In addition, these survivors may be beneficial from the provision of tailored survivorship care plans (SCPs) to enhance their diverse unmet care needs.
