Objectives: This study aimed to gain insight into the unmet care needs and health care service barriers experienced by Indonesian gynecological cancer survivors after cancer therapy. Data Sources: Twenty purposively selected women who had completed gynecological cancer therapy for at least 1 year participated in a descriptive qualitative study. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and thematically analyzed. Conclusion: The analysis constructed two themes and seven subthemes: (a) unmet care needs (subthemes: late side effects; cancer recurrence; stigma of cancer transmission; social-economic concerns), (b) deficient functions of health care services (subthemes: short consultation time; unempathetic health professionals; and inefficient time and cost for the health care services). The gynecological cancer survivors experienced shortages of informational, psychological, and socioeconomic support after cancer therapy because of the deficient quality of the health care services. Implication for Nursing Practice: Nursing interventions couldmitigate the unmet care needs of gynecological cancer survivors after cancer therapy through patient-centered care services and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Objective: The number of gynecological cancer survivors is increasing in Indonesia, and these women often require physical and emotional support from their male partners as primary caregivers. However, the male caregiver`s need for biological, psychological, and social support is often neglected. This study aims to assess the demographic and clinical determinants affecting the unmet supportive care needs of the gynecological cancer survivors` husbands in Indonesia. Methods: This cross‑sectional survey involved 152 husbands of survivors who were recruited by a consecutive sampling method in two national referral hospitals. A self‑administered Cancer Survivors` Partners Unmet Needs Questionnaire was used for data collection. Multiple linear regression was performed to analyze the data. Results: The majority of participants (97.4%) reported at least one unmet need. The primary unmet needs were legal services (71.1%), financial support (70.4%), cancer recurrence concerns (69.7%), and ongoing health support (66.4%). These needs were significantly associated with the wife`s radio‑chemotherapy and lower household income (P < 0.01) and also related to the husband`s education level, duration of caregiving, and wife`s cancer stage. Conclusions: Husbands of gynecological cancer survivors in Indonesia reported a need for legal, financial, and health‑care information and assistance. Multidisciplinary professionals should be involved in developing policy and interventions which facilitate the social‑economic protection of survivors and their husbands, as well as comprehensive care needs to enhance the women`s survival rate.
