The experience of BCS is marked by uncertainty and anxiety about subsequent care, and a desire for more information about future care needs and late effects of treatment. Self-management strategies have demonstrated improved outcomes in chronic illness, and may address the unmet needs of breast cancer survivors. Five focus and discussion groups each were conducted at a single site in the Southeastern United States with a total of twenty breast cancer survivors. BCS were presented with a description of a survivorship transition intervention that encouraged self-management. Groups were led by a trained moderator using a semi-structured guide with 7 open-ended questions about their care transition experience and response to the proposed intervention. A theoretically-derived, concept-guided coding strategy was developed after review of transcripts. Iterative constant comparative methods were used to ensure that transcripts were reviewed exhaustively for emerging codes and relationships. Three dominant themes emerged around ...Continue Reading
