Early Needs Assessment in Patients With Non‐Specific Symptoms of Cancer: An Explorative Study
We characterised 55 patients diagnosed with cancer and identified their rehabilitation needs. Further, we documented that early systematic needs assessment conducted by physiotherapists and occupational therapists proved valuable and was generally well-received by both patients and health professionals. It underscores the significance of early rehabilitation with emphasis on daily life and identifies key areas where improvements can be made to better support rehabilitation of patients diagnosed with cancer.
