Abstract
Objective In the COVID‐19 crisis context, the main objective of the study is to investigate factors associated with perceived concerns of change in long‐term cancer care in patients currently under treatment. Methods A French population‐based cross‐sectional study was performed using an online questionnaire in April 2020. All persons currently receiving cancer treatment and belonging to the Seintinelles Association (https://www.seintinelles.com) were included in this present analysis. Individual sociodemographic characteristics, medical status and information regarding cancer care were collected. Multivariate binomial logistic regression analysis was performed. Results We included 298 women in the analysis. Younger participants (OR = 0.96 [0.94–0.99]), the need to visit healthcare facilities to receive treatment (OR = 2.93 [1.16–8.52]), deterioration in the quality of communication with the medical team since the beginning of the COVID‐19 crisis (OR = 3.24 [1.61–7.02]) and being cared for by a university hospital or a public hospital (OR = 2.19 [1.16–4.23] versus comprehensive cancer centre) were associated with a perceived fear of change in long‐term cancer care. Conclusion To address patients' concerns regarding changes in their long‐term cancer care, medical teams should consider the patients' own perceptions of the situation and provide clear, appropriate, precise information on cancer care, especially in the centres mostly affected by the COVID‐19 crisis.
