Clinical Trial Summary

With the advancement of medical treatments and under the trend of prolonging the survival rate of gynecological cancer patients, the use of social resources and the need for supportive care are particularly important! In the past, studies on patients with gynecological cancer focused on the relation between physical and mental symptoms, intimate relationships, social support, and quality of life. There were few studies on the relationship between social support, resource utilization, and supportive care needs for this group of patients. Therefore, this study research will be conducted on these topics. The results of the study can confirm the current situation of gynecological cancer patients using social resources and the related factors that affect their supportive care needs, and can provide important empirical data for future social resource services and international research design content.
