abstract = {A conceptualisation of subjective financial distress as a
consequence of a cancer diagnosis and treatment is still
missing due to a lack of a comprehensive model accounting
for all relevant dimensions of financial effects of cancer
experienced by patients. Our goal was to derive a model for
the German healthcare system to shed light on the complex
process of financial effects of cancer.The model was
developed through systematic literature review and
qualitative studies, including interviews with 18 cancer
patients and a focus group with 4 social services
representatives. The iterative process of model development
was accompanied by an ongoing exchange in the
interdisciplinary research team.The developed model of
financial effects of cancer experienced by patients consists
of three dimensions: (1) actual and anticipated financial
disadvantages, (2) behavioural and cognitive coping
strategies, and (3) subjective financial distress
conceptualised as negative effects in different aspects of
daily living: employment, living situation, family, social
participation, health promoting lifestyle, additional
personally preferred treatments, navigating the health
system, and a further area so-called unspecific.Subjective
financial distress is driven by different financial effects
of cancer experienced by patients and is perceived as
negative in various aspects of daily living. While the
identified categories of daily living can be observed in
countries with universal healthcare coverage, the content
and degree of each subcategory depend on country-specific
characteristics. The introduced model can be used to inform
the development of a new patient-reported outcome measure
