Objective To study the effect of “cancer” diagnosis on Chinese-American patients and their relatives in Australia. METHODS: A qualitative research strategy was used. The subjects were randomly selected and continuously supplemented by three major teaching hospitals in Sydney and one Chinese-oncology patient support agency until no new information appeared. Four focusing groups and 26 individual telephone conversations were completed. A total of 36 cancer patients and 12 relatives were investigated. Findings The findings found that the diagnosis of “cancer” has a negative impact on the emotions of patients and their relatives, daily life, career, family and social relations, the patient’s own image, and the relative’s physical and mental health. Most people have some problems in their psychological adjustment. Conclusions It should be noted that oncology should pay attention to the practical application of the biological-psychological-social medical model to clinical practice. Each professional institution and community should help this group to perform effective psychological adjustment.
