Treatment summaries and follow-up care instructions for cancer survivors: improving survivor self-efficacy and health care utilization.
The researchers examined the association of receiving summaries and care plans with cancer survivor self-efficacy for chronic illness management. They found that explanation of the follow-up care plan, beyond the written component, enhances survivor self-efficacy for managing cancer as a chronic condition-an important mediator for improving health care utilization outcomes.
