Stakeholders' Perspectives on eHealth Support in Colorectal Cancer Survivorship: Qualitative Interview Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

eHealth interventions may represent the way forward in following up patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) after hospital discharge to support them in coping with the illness, strengthen their self-management, and increase their quality of life. By involving end users of eHealth in cocreation processes when designing eHealth solutions, an acceptable and relevant product can be secured. Stakeholders' perspectives could aid in closing the gap between research-developed products and the implementation of eHealth services in real-life scenarios.

Objective

This study aims to explore the views of patients with CRC, their informal caregivers, and health care professionals (HCPs) on information technology and the design of eHealth support in CRC care.
