Role, Resources, and Integration of Accompanying Patients in Oncology: A Qualitative Study from the Accompanying Patient’s Perspective

They noted its beneficial effects on patients, on themselves, and on the clinical team. However, more resources need to be directed toward integrating APs into healthcare teams.
