ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Narrative communication has demonstrated effectiveness in promoting positive health behaviours, delivering support and coping with complex decision-making. Formal research evaluating this intervention for cancer treatment in Africa is lacking. We aimed to develop, and assess acceptability and usability of survivor video narrative interventions for breast cancer treatment in Botswana.

Design

A pilot study design.

Setting

Single-centre, tertiary hospital, sub-Saharan Africa.

Participants

Eight women, ≥18 years old, with stages I-III breast cancer were enrolled for the video intervention. 106 women, ≥18 years old, with stages I-IV breast cancer viewed the narrative videos and 98 completed the acceptability and usability surveys.
