PEIXOTO, Tiago André dos Santos Martins; PEIXOTO, Nuno Miguel dos Santos Martins; PINTO, Cândida Assunção Santos and SANTOS, Célia Samarina Vilaça de Brito. Key elements of an educational intervention in nursing for the promotion of cancer survivor adaptation. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2021, vol.serV, n.5, e20078. Epub May 31, 2021.

Background:
There is less investment in the cancer survival phase worldwide, and in Portugal, there is no known intervention program focused on cancer survivor adaptation.
Objective:
To explore the key elements in the development of an educational intervention in nursing that promotes cancer survivor adaptation.
Methodology:
Qualitative exploratory study using a focus group with 9 experts for data collection.
Results:
Knowledge about the disease, self-management of symptoms, self-control of emotions, knowledge about coping strategies, and involvement of family members should integrate the content of the intervention to be developed. Educational strategies should be articulated with motivational and relational strategies. Cancer survivors must be involved in the learning process. The care plan must be individualized and include a health contract.
Conclusion:
This study allowed identifying a minimum set of characteristics that should integrate an educational intervention in nursing.
