Purpose
The experiences of cancer care can be mediated by many different factors and this narrative literature review aims to explore the experiences of cancer care in relation to people with intellectual disabilities receiving cancer treatment. Method We undertook a search for articles in English from (Jan) 2000(Feb) 2018 using Medline, CINAHL, ScienceDirect, ASSIA and Wiley. The inclusion criteria are 20002018, English language and focussing on experiences of cancer journey. We used a narrative approach and thematically analysed the data. Results There were 10 papers that met our inclusion/exclusion criteria. The themes generated included communication issues, information giving and decision-making. The literature suggests that communication and decision-making within cancer care are often mediated through support workers or family carers with minimal involvement of the person with intellectual disabilities. Information-giving by health professionals and support workers to people with intellectual disabilities was limited. This was often justified by the perceived distress this may cause. Conclusion Training for health professionals and support workers in supporting people with intellectual difficulties is required for more effective communication in cancer care. |
