Abstrakt: The Wellness Beyond Cancer Program provides survivorship care plans (SCPs) to cancer survivors, as they transition from cancer centres back to their primary care provider (PCP) upon treatment completion. A program evaluation examined whether standardized SCPs resulted in comparable outcomes on perceived knowledge and patient activation as personalized SCPs. Breast cancer survivors who received either standardized or personalized SCPs completed pre- and post-surveys during their discharge appointment, which included an in-house measure on perceived knowledge, The Perceived Efficacy in Patient-Physician Interactions, and The Patient Activation Measure. Eighty-seven breast cancer survivors completed the surveys (personalized SCP n = 43; standardized SCP n = 44). Standardized SCPs resulted in comparable knowledge and activation outcomes as personalized SCPs. Cost-efficient standardized SCPs may help alleviate human resource constraints and may be considered for further evaluation and implementation in cancer centres.
