A mixed method study of medical oncologists' perceived barriers and motivators to addressing long-term effects in breast cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to identify oncologist-reported barriers and motivators in addressing long-term effects with breast cancer survivors.

Methods

This study is a secondary analysis of data from a survey of U.S. medical oncologists (n = 217) about breast cancer survivorship care in clinical practice. Using both closed- and open-ended questions, we asked oncologists to report barriers and motivators they perceived in addressing long-term effects with breast cancer patients. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize and rank items endorsed by oncologists in analyses of quantitative data; content analysis was used to identify salient categories of barriers and motivators in qualitative data.

Results

Key barriers to managing physical long-term effects
