- Among breast cancer survivors, 55% to 65% reported moderate-to-high intention to use various tele-delivered supportive cancer care (SCC) services including psychosocial care, complementary care, peer support, and medical consultation.
- Higher intention to use different types of teledelivered SCC was associated with performance expectancy, social influence, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, unmet psychological needs, and unmet patient care and support needs.
- Participants with higher intention to use tele-delivered SCC reported more favourable perceptions of telehealth than those with lower intention.
