Applying the Caring Life-Course Theory to Explore Prostate Cancer Survivors’ Care Needs, Care Trajectories, And Self-Care Behaviors: A Qualitative Study
Nurses are well-positioned to lead biographically and relationally informed survivorship care planning. Expanding access to specialist cancer nurses or patient navigators, integrating structured self-care assessments, biographical inquiry, and social network mapping, as well as fostering multidisciplinary coordination, can improve the delivery and personalization of survivorship care.
