Sarcoma Patient Narratives With Respect to the Social Determinants of Health: A Thematic Analysis
Our research elicited ways in which SDoH affected the care experience of patients with sarcoma. The identified domains offer clinicians valuable information into non-clinical factors, such as employment concerns or transportation issues, that may affect care for patients with sarcoma. Interdisciplinary care providers (social workers, psychologists, financial navigators) may also help promote open dialogues with patients about their social circumstances and actively facilitate connections to institutional resources or community support systems.
