Exploring the use of the survivorship consult in providing survivorship care
2013
Purpose
Advances in breast cancer treatment have increased survival and contributed to longer periods of survivorship as reported by the Committee CCSsS (Canadian Cancer Statistics) (2011) and Hewitt et al. (2005), increasing the relevance of survivorship care. Survivorship care includes encouraging survivors to acquire the knowledge, skills and confidence to manage their life, as well as engaging survivors through post-diagnosis disease self-management and self-care strategies. The Survivorship Consult (SC) was designed to help survivors reflect on their needs, establish goals and create an action plan.
