New study to investigate impact of pandemic on lives of cancer patients
A new study investigating the experiences of cancer patients, cancer survivors and their family members during the Covid-19 pandemic has been launched.
The joint qualitative study is being carried out by researchers from the School of Nursing and Midwifery at NUI Galway (NUIG) and the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Systems at University College Dublin (UCD).
Maura Dowling, Senior Lecturer in Nursing at the School of Nursing and Midwifery at NUIG, said patients with cancer were considered particularly vulnerable to severe Covid-19 complications because of the immunosuppressive effects of chemotherapy.
