Reported Concerns and Acceptance of Information or Referrals Among Breast Cancer Survivors Seen for Care Planning Visits: Results from the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center Survivorship Program.

Breast cancer survivors' experience physical and psychosocial concerns following active curative-intent treatment. Survivors' complex needs are often reviewed at survivorship care planning visits (SCP visits). However, little is known about the post-treatment concerns and resource needs addressed within the context of SCP visits. Using discretely collected electronic health record data, we examined characteristics, concerns, and acceptance of education materials and/or referrals among stages 0-3 breast cancer survivors seen for SCP visits. Most survivors reported concerns related to activity (n = 739; 72.7%) and nutrition (n = 677; 66.6%). Survivors of color were more likely to report concerns related to pain/swelling (odds ratio (OR), 4.4; 95% CI, 1.7-11.4) and employment/insurance (2.8; 1.4-5.7) compared to Whites. More than half accepted materials or referrals for concerns related to nutrition, activity/pain, substance use, sexual health, mood, and sleep (padj-value < 0.05). However, not all reported concerns led to acceptance of materials or referrals. Survivors seen for SCP visits report a wide range of concerns at the end of active curative-intent treatment but may not necessarily accept materials or referrals for their concerns within the context of these visits. Our findings highlight the importance of exercise, physical rehabilitation, and nutrition interventions for survivors following active curative-intent treatment. Further study is needed to elucidate the reasons for acceptance vs. non-acceptance of resources addressing reported concerns.
