Self-management of cognitive impairments: A qualitative study of cancer survivors’ coping strategies

Cancer survivors employ various strategies to cope with cognitive impairments, including physical exercise, cognitive training, leisure activities, and compensatory tools. Support and validation from significant others play a crucial role, highlighting the importance of increasing knowledge about cognitive impairments after cancer treatment. Holistic interventions that address contributing factors, such as fatigue and emotional well-being, should be prioritized. These insights may inform the development of future self-management recommendations and interventions. Due to methodological limitations related to recruitment, the findings may not be generalizable to the entire target population.
