47. The Status of Human Factors Research in Cancer Care: A Look at the Landscape
SessionPoster Session 1
DescriptionThis submission underscores the need for increased human factors research in cancer care and the involvement of human factors professionals in this field. While human factors principles have been widely applied in aviation, driving, and some aspects of healthcare to enhance safety and usability, they remain underutilized in cancer care. The authors employed HTML parsing to extract titles and abstracts from five journals and two conference proceedings, identifying cancer-related articles through predefined keywords from 1958 to 2022. Among the total of 25,033 articles reviewed from these sources, only 28 pertained to cancer, with colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer being the most frequently discussed. Notably, 67% of the articles were found in the Human Factors national conference proceedings. We advocate for the hiring of human factors professionals in oncology departments within hospitals and emphasizes the need for special issues and funding to advance this vital research area.
