PROJECT SUMMARY Managing any illness means also managing its economic burden, i.e., the burden due to costs of care and productivity losses. This can financially devastate patients and their families. Not being able to pay medical or other bills, borrowing money, using up savings, even declaring bankruptcy, are just a few of the financial hardships patients experience. An emerging body of literature suggests that this economic burden may also take an emotional toll. In our own program of research, we found that cancer patients expressed worry about the cost of treatment or taking time off work when making treatment decisions, and that one in two gynecologic cancer patients starting chemotherapy already reported financial distress. To date, little attention has been paid to how emotional well-being and economic burden are related. The opportunity to fully understand the underlying mechanisms between economic burden, emotional well-being, and broader health outcomes is further hampered by the lack of dedicated researchers and lack of ‘cross-talk’ across disciplines and fields of research. Consequently, we do not know how to reduce the impact of the economic burden of disease and enhance well-being. We propose to address knowledge gaps and overcome barriers to progress in this emerging area of research by establishing the Emotional Well-Being and Economic Burden (EMOT-ECON) Research Network. This Network will bring together multidisciplinary scientists across institutions to take a transdisciplinary approach to answering the most urgent emotional well- being and economic burden questions. Novel and outstanding features of the EMOT-ECON Network include: i) leadership by a health economist and a clinical psychologist, long-term collaborators, and colleagues. They will be supported by a leadership team that includes patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and policymakers who will bring unique knowledge and perspective to enrich Network activities; ii) pilot project program portfolio of diverse funding mechanisms, including opportunities specifically designed to recruit new investigators to the field; and iii) use of social media and an interactive website to attract researchers, facilitate the formation of new research teams, and share opportunities, resources and products. Our effort, designed to build research capacity in emotional well-being and economic burden, will have a substantial impact by generating the body of knowledge necessary to develop interventions that minimize the impact of the economic burden of disease and enhance well-being.

项目摘要 管理任何疾病的手段也要管理其经济燃烧，即由于护理费用而烧伤 和生产力损失。这可能会使患者及其家人经济摧毁。无法 支付医疗或其他账单，借钱，耗尽储蓄，甚至宣布破产，只是一个 患者很少有经济困难。新兴的文献表明这一点 经济燃烧也可能造成情感上的伤害。在我们自己的研究计划中，我们发现 癌症患者表示担心治疗成本或在进行时休假时间 治疗决策，并且已经有两分之二的妇科癌症患者开始化学疗法 报告的财务困扰。迄今为止，很少关注情感幸福感 经济伯恩（Burnen）是相关的。充分理解基本机制的机会 在经济燃烧，情感健康和更广泛的健康成果之间，进一步受到阻碍 由于缺乏专门的研究人员，并且在研究领域缺乏“交叉言论”。 因此，我们不知道如何减少疾病经济燃烧和 增强幸福感。我们建议解决知识差距并克服进步的障碍 通过建立情感福祉和经济负担，这一新兴研究领域 （情感）研究网络。该网络将汇集多学科科学家 在整个机构中，采用跨学科的方法来回答最紧迫的情感良好 存在和经济伯宁问题。情感网络的新颖和杰出特征 包括：i）健康经济学家和临床心理学家，长期合作者的领导 同事。他们将得到包括患者，护理人员，医疗保健在内的领导团队的支持 提供者和政策制定者将带来独特的知识和观点来丰富网络 活动; ii）潜水资金机制的试点项目计划投资组合，包括机会 专门为招募新调查人员到该领域而设计的； iii）使用社交媒体和 互动网站以吸引研究人员，促进新研究团队的成立并分享 机会，资源和产品。我们的努力旨在在情感上建立研究能力 幸福感和经济烧伤将通过产生知识体会产生重大影响 制定干预措施所必需的，以最大程度地减少疾病经济燃烧的影响和 增强幸福感。
