3. RESEARCH CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES
Leger, on behalf of the Canadian Cancer Survivor Network (CCSN), conducted a fourth wave of the study to assess
the extent to which the disruption of cancer care caused by COVID-19 impacts cancer patients and caregivers, from
an emotional and physical wellness perspective.
• Level of anxiety and concerns about receiving adequate cancer care now that COVID-19
restrictions are being lifted
• How are patients and caregivers interacting with the doctor managing their cancer
• virtual consults, in person visits, etc.
• How do they rate the quality of care in the past 6 months?
• COVID-19 vaccination among patients and caregivers
• Impact of COVID-19 restrictions being lifted
• Impact of relaxation of restrictions on daily life
• Perceptions about provincial government lifting restrictions
• Likelihood to continue to follow COVID-19 related precautions
• What could the government do to make patients and caregivers feel more comfortable
• % of cancer patients tested positive for COVID-19 and their COVID-19 journey
Key topics addressed

4. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY – SAMPLE SIZE
This wave, data collection took place from April
13th to May 12th, 2022.
Previous wave, Total sample of 1,502 - data
collection took place from June 10th to July 4th,
2021.
 Web survey of 1,353 Canadians, including
1,100 Canadians diagnosed with cancer,
and 253 Caregivers.

5. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY – RECRUITMENT
SCREENING CRITERIA:
• 18 years or older and currently living in Canada
• Respondents qualified as:
 A patient, if they were diagnosed with cancer
 A caregiver, if a currently living family member / someone they
care for was diagnosed with cancer. A caregiver should be
supporting patients in either of the following ways:
• Provide emotional support
• Attend doctor’s appointments where their cancer may be discussed
• Look for information on treatment options, for example, on the Internet, or in books
• Support the person in other ways, e.g. by driving to and from doctor’s appointments
RECRUITMENT:
• All respondents were recruited via our LEO PANEL – Leger’s proprietary consumer panel
with nearly 500,000 members (largest in Canada)

6. KEY FINDINGS

7. KEY STUDY FINDINGS
Overall, cancer patients are significantly more likely to have CONSULTED an HCP in the past 6 months vs. during the
pandemic, more so in-person, and majority say they were HIGHLY SATISFIED WITH THE QUALITY OF CANCER CARE
received in the past 6 months.
LEVEL OF ANXIETY ABOUT RECEIVING ADEQUATE CANCER CARE DROPPED THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC from its
highest levels when COVID-19 was declared a pandemic; however, now as restrictions are being lifted, anxiety levels
are likely to rise again.
When prompted, respondents report being QUITE CONCERNED about their ability to be CARED FOR IN AN ER or a
HOSPITAL, SEE A DOCTOR IN-PERSON and being able to GET TESTS AND TREATMENT IN A TIMELY MANNER as
restrictions begin to be lifted.
Many respondents mention that they are NOT COMFORTABLE with their PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT LIFTING
RESTRICTIONS, mainly because they believe that IT IS TOO SOON and COVID CONTINUES TO BE A THREAT.
Patients as well as caregivers indicate HIGH LIKELIHOOD to CONTINUE FOLLOWING COVID-19 SAFETY MEASURES,
including WEARING A MASK FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

 Lack of organization in healthcare
system was highlighted as the

 Unaided, significantly more

they don’t have any concerns
about receiving care as

Although less than last wave, a
few continue to be concerned
about access to healthcare and
contracting COVID-19

18. CONCLUSIONS
OVERALL, NEARLY TWO-THIRDS (65%) say they were HIGHLY SATISFIED WITH THE QUALITY OF CANCER CARE received in the past 6
months. PATIENTS report being MUCH MORE SATISFIED this wave compared to last wave (Q2, 2021).
• Unaided, SIGNIFICANT INCREASE in proportion who say they DON’T HAVE ANY CONCERNS about RECEIVING CARE now that
restrictions are being lifted. This wave, CLOSE TO HALF of the PATIENTS (46% vs. 27% in W3) and 1 IN 5 CAREGIVERS (21% vs.
6% in W3) report NO CONCERNS. Among those who have concerns, ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE and CONTRACTING COVID-19
CONTINUE to be main concerns (although less than last wave).
MAJORITY of patients and caregivers report having INTERACTED with a PHYSICIAN in the PAST 6 MONTHS. Patients are significantly
more likely to have interacted with HCPs in the past 6 months vs. during the pandemic.
• While NOTICEABLE INCREASE observed in IN-PERSON CONSULTATIONS, VIRTUAL CONSULTATIONS, especially via telephone,
continue to be WIDELY USED.
• Overall, high satisfaction reported with all modes of interactions.
Both patients and caregivers mention that their ANXIETY LEVELS about RECEIVING ADEQUATE CANCER CARE DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY
THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC from its peak when COVID-19 was declared a pandemic up to early this year when booster doses
became available; however, NOW AS RESTRICTIONS BEGIN TO LIFT, ANXIETY LEVELS ARE STARTING TO SHOW AN UPWARD TREND.
• When prompted, respondents indicate that they are QUITE CONCERNED about their ability to be CARED FOR IN AN ER or a
HOSPITAL, SEE A DOCTOR IN-PERSON and being able to GET TESTS AND TREATMENT IN A TIMELY MANNER as restrictions
begin to be lifted.

19. CONCLUSIONS
HALF of the patients and caregivers surveyed say that they are NOT COMFORTABLE with their PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT LIFTING
RESTRICTIONS, mainly because they feel COVID IS NOT OVER YET, it CONTINUES TO BE A THREAT and that IT IS TOO SOON.
• 1 in 5 believe RELAXATION OF RESTRICTIONS will have a NEGATIVE IMPACT on their daily life as they would avoid going out /
avoid crowded places, stay home more / more isolated and it’ll increase stress/anxiety/fear.
• To make them FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE, respondents suggest that government should CONTINUE WITH COVID-19
PROTOCOLS, including MASK MANDATES.
Even as COVID-19 related restrictions being to lift, patients as well as caregivers indicate HIGH LIKELIHOOD to CONTINUE FOLLOWING
COVID-19 SAFETY MEASURES.
• 4 in 5 say they would CONTINUE TO WEAR A MASK. MAJORITY of those anticipate wearing it FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE
while REST for, on average, 6 MONTHS OR MORE.
ALMOST UNIVERSAL COVERAGE of COVID-19 VACCINE among those surveyed, with MAJORITY vaccinated with TWO DOSES AND A
BOOSTER DOSE.
• ~1 IN 6 RESPONDENTS (16% patients and 18% caregivers say the person they care for) have HAD COVID-19, with the vast
majority reporting it was mild/moderate. Although on a low sample size, among patients who have had COVID-19, 1 in 6
(16%) are suffering from long COVID. This number rises to 2 in 5 among caregivers.
