CANCER
For the BETTER WISE study, 132 primary care staff (PPs, family physicians, allied health professionals, clinic staff and a research assistant) participated in 17 focus groups and 48 key informant interviews from the 13 participating primary care settings in the three provinces. Qualitative data were collected at three points (baseline, follow-up and final interview). Eighty-five patient feedback forms were received from cancer survivors.In our thematic analysis of feedback forms from cancer survivors and interviews and focus groups with stakeholders, family physicians and PP participants, there were several key themes that emerged: the benefit of the PP role for cancer survivors, patient engagement and attitudes toward goal setting, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
