Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the frequency of high financial distress in advanced cancer patients.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the association between high financial distress with clinical and demographic characteristics in advanced cancer patients.
II. To determine the correlation between In Charge Financial Distress/ Financial Well-Being Scale (IFDFW) and other financial distress instruments such as Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity-Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (COST-FACIT) and Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale- Financial Distress (ESAS-FS).
III. To determine the association between high financial distress with patient symptoms in ESAS-FS and quality of life assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G).
OUTLINE:
Patients complete questionnaires about financial state and quality of life over 15 minutes. Patients' medical chart is also reviewed.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Correlation between high financial distress with clinical characteristics in advance cancer patients
Time Frame: Day 1
|
Demographic and clinical characteristics,such as your age, gender, ethnicity, caregiving, education, employment status, marital status, household income, date of diagnosis, disease stage, cancer type, insurance type, place of residence, and homeowner status) will be collected.
It should take about 5 minutes to complete.
|
Day 1
|
Correlation between mean scores of In Charge Financial Distress/ Financial Well-Being Scale (IFDFW) and scores from other financial distress instruments
Time Frame: Day 1
|
Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (COST-FACIT) was developed as part of a series of questionnaires aimed at measuring different symptom indexes of health-related quality of life in patients with advance disease such as cancer.
The survey contains 12 questions and each of them is rated from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much).
This survey focuses on financial distress caused by illness in patients with cancer.
It takes about 5 minutes to complete.

Day 1
|
Correlation between high financial distress with patient symptoms in(ESAS) Edmonton Symptom Assessment System
Time Frame: Day 1
|
Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale- Financial Distress (ESAS-FS) is routinely utilized in the outpatient Supportive Care Clinic.
The ESAS-FS is an updated version including financial and spiritual distress, and it consists of 12 symptom items to measure severity severity of patient's symptoms.
Grading severity of patient symptoms from "no" 0 to "worst symptom" 10 in the last 24 hours.

Day 1
|
Correlation between high financial distress with Quality of life
Time Frame: Day 1
|
Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G).
consists of 27 general questions divided into four primary domains: Physical Well-Being, Social/Family Well-Being, Emotional Well-Being, and Functional Well-Being for use in patients with any form of cancer.
Answered using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much) With a total possible score greater than 100.
