We surveyed 618 cancer patients from 17 hospitals using the Quality of Life Assessment, Venous Device-Port questionnaire from October 2022 to October 2023. Concurrently, 14 patients from a tertiary hospital were interviewed in May 2023.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cancer patients reported a high level of satisfaction with chest port with an average score of 8.25 out of 10. However, over half had concerns such as concerns about port damage, blockage, and infection, and attempted to cover the port with clothing. The most common practical concern was interference with sports or exercise. Thirteen themes emerged from the interviews, divided into sense of benefit (convenience in daily life, high sense of security, reduction in repeated punctures and related pain, and decreased burden of frequent hospital visits), trust issues and emotional reactions at port implantation (trust and passive decision-making, fear and anxiety about surgical procedures, and resistance and passive acceptance), and negative perceptions after port implantation (safety concerns, cosmetic concerns, interference with daily activities, physical discomfort, inconvenience of accessing medical resources, patient uncertainty and need for port care information).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Combining quantitative and qualitative findings provides a deeper understanding of chest port-related HRQoL in cancer patients.
