Abstract
ABSTRACT To date, little research has been conducted to examine the experiences of Asian and Native Hawaiian families in facing prostate cancer. A survey was conducted with 100 participants (including both survivors and family members) of Native Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, and Caucasian ancestry in Honolulu, HI. Results indicated differences in the ways that survivors and their family members cope with the illness. While treatment-related variables played a significant role in coping among survivors, family members’ experiences were more likely to be predicted by the relationship they maintained with the survivor. Implications for improving current practice and the need for future research to establish effective strategies to assist prostate cancer survivors and their family members will be addressed based on the results of this study.
