Does Electronic Symptom Monitoring Improve Symptom Burden and Self-Efficacy Among Chemotherapy and Surgery Patients Across Six Cancer Centers?
eSyM deployment was associated with reduced symptom burden, but clinically meaningful differences were only observed in fatigue and anxiety scores among surgical patients. Future studies should investigate the mechanisms by which symptom reporting affects patient outcomes, such as improving patient-clinician communication, enhancing clinician attention to symptom management, or increasing patient self-efficacy.
