OBJECTIVE: There is a paucity of evidence exploring the experiences and care needs for First Nations Australians with head and neck cancer (HNC). The aim of the study was to explore the journey of HNC diagnosis, treatment, and early recovery for patients and carers to inform service improvement.
SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND DESIGN: First Nations HNC patient and carer (n = 19) experiences were explored qualitatively through Yarning. Data was analysed using reflexive thematic analysis, with First Nations researcher involvement embedded in all stages of data collection and analysis.
RESULTS: Key themes identified included: Strengths and protective factors; Coordination of care; Quality and continuity of care; Cultural safety; Communication and information; Cultural connectedness in hospital; and Gaps in health system support. The Strengths and protective factors theme was noted to be interwoven throughout the other themes and supported participants as a safety net during their care. Practical recommendations to the HNC care pathway were also offered under each theme.
CONCLUSIONS: The seven themes identified provided insights into the HNC care experiences for First Nations Australians. These findings and participant recommendations will inform a co-design process to create an optimised care pathway.
