Survivorship care plan preferences of cancer survivors and health care providers: a systematic review and quality appraisal of the evidence

Abstract

Treatment summaries and survivorship care plans are useful for cancer survivors; however, future rigorous studies should be conducted to identify and prioritize the preferences of survivors regarding these.

Assessment of the feasibility and acceptability, and pre-test of the utility of an individualized survivorship care plan (ISCP) for women with endometrial cancers during the transition of the end of active treatment to cancer survivorship

“…Although survivors reported an overall high level of satisfaction with the ISCP in other studies (Brennan et al, 2014;Klemanski et al, 2015;Stricker et al, 2011), a lack of measurable proof of its added value has also been found (Brennan et al, 2014;Klemanski et al, 2015;Mayer et al, 2014) and the best practices have yet to be validated by research (Stricker & O'Brien, 2014). Despite growing support for ISCP, it is slow to be adopted.…”

Évaluation de la faisabilité, de l’acceptabilité et pré-test de l’utilité d’un plan de soins de suivi (PSS) auprès de femmes atteintes du cancer de l’endomètre lors de la transition de la fin du traitement actif vers la survie au cancer

“…Bien que les survivants rapportent un niveau de satisfaction élevé pour le PSS dans l'ensemble des études (Brennan et al, 2014;Klemanski et al, 2015;Stricker et al, 2011), un manque de preuves mesurables sur sa valeur ajoutée y est associé (Brennan et al, 2014;Klemanski et al, 2015;Mayer et al, 2014) et les meilleures pratiques n'ont pas été validées par la recherche (Stricker et O'Brien, 2014). Malgré le soutien croissant pour le PSS, son adoption est lente.…”

Alberta CancerBridges Development of a Care Plan Evaluation Measure

“…While scp research has grown, best practices for patient and provider assessment and scp delivery post-treatment remain unclear or not broadly instituted 2,7,8 . A developing literature supports the use of scps [9][10][11][12][13][14] , and describes optimal content, formats 4,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] , and key-stakeholders' views 1,23,24 , but methods of evaluating scps and their impact on stakeholders are just emerging 4,[25][26][27][28][29][30] .…”
