Experiences of Cancer Rehabilitation: A Cross ‐Sectional Study
ConclusionsMore efforts should be taken to reach patients in need of cancer rehabilitation. Additionally, more attention should be directed toward family members and young children.
Relevance to clinical practiceMore than one in four patients claimed to not have received an offer of cancer rehabilitation, and an even greater number of patients claimed that their spouses and children had never received an offer for this service either. Hence, there is a communication barrier that needs to be overcome. Health providers should be aware that information needs to be repeated several times, and presented both orally and in writing.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
