The impact of the cancer experience on long-term survivors.

Little is known about the impact of the cancer experience on long-term survivors of adult cancers. This exploratory study describes survivors' needs and identifies emic (in the subject's own words) categories and patterns among physiological, psychological, and socioeconomic changes, problems/concerns, and needs. A purposive sample of 17 adults more than two years post-cancer therapy was interviewed using the semi-structured Cancer Survivor Questionnaire (CSQ). Deductive content analysis was used to identify specific changes, problems/concerns, or needs associated with physiological, psychological, and socioeconomic categories. Inductive content analysis identified major emic themes and patterns. Findings indicate that the cancer experience permanently changes life patterns and suggest guidelines for nurses to use in helping the cancer survivor better adapt holistically to long-term survival.

Epidemiologists in the United States: an assessment of the current supply and the anticipated need.

We provide 1985 estimates of the work force of epidemiologists in the United States, the number of graduates from training programs in epidemiology, and a projection of the future need for these health professionals. Our methods included a search of mailing lists from professional organizations, mail contact with graduate training programs, telephone interviews with experts, and a review of job announcements in professional journals. The study indicates that the current work force of epidemiologists in the United States is estimated to include 4,600 persons, more than half of whom are physicians; most epidemiologists are located in either a state with a major federal public health agency or one with a large population; and programs in epidemiology graduate an average of 475 persons with one or two years of master's level education and approximately 80 with doctoral-level education each year. After considering the factors that influence the supply of epidemiologists, we project a substantial need for more epidemiologists in the future than current sources will provide.

Success factors for the future survival of rural hospitals.

Rural hospitals are among those at greatest risk in the changing world of healthcare delivery. There are, however, those that are continuing to thrive despite the odds. The common thread among these are factors found in select Midwest rural hospitals.
