Abstract

Up to now, people with disabilities have received little consideration in health care with regard to their individual needs. This study gathers information on the internal perspective of breast cancer patients with a pre-existing disability with regard to needs and barriers in oncological care. For this purpose, qualitative, guideline-based interviews were conducted and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Twenty-three patients with physical disabilities, chronic physical illnesses, sensory disabilities, mental illnesses and/or intellectual disabilities were included. Depending on the type of disability, patients faced different barriers. In order to reduce the barriers experienced by people with disabilities in care, it is necessary to promote cooperation between care providers from different care sectors and to train care providers in dealing with people with disabilities.
