Survivorship care in breast cancer: understanding implementation barriers through the lens of the Theoretical Domains Framework.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Breast cancer survivorship guidelines with specific recommendations on managing long-term effects are available, but uptake in clinical practice remains low. Using the lens of the Theoretical Domains Framework, we aimed to understand key factors in guideline-concordant management of long-term effects to inform future implementation efforts in clinical practice contexts.

Oncologists were asked to report level of agreement with Theoretical Domains Framework-based statements, current usage and perceived value of survivorship resources, and frequency of managing long-term effects in routine care. Data analyses included psychometric assessment of the questionnaire, descript
