PEIXOTO, Tiago André dos Santos Martins; PEIXOTO, Nuno Miguel dos Santos Martins; PINTO, Cândida Assunção Santos  and  SANTOS, Célia Samarina Vilaça de Brito.

Background:

Cancer survivors represent a major challenge for health systems due to the lack of care plans for these patients.

Objective:

To validate the structure and content of an educational nursing intervention (complex intervention) to promote the adaptation of cancer survivors.

Methodology:

The modified e-Delphi technique consisted of three rounds of online questionnaires.

Results:

A group of 27 experts validated the inclusion of 33 items related to the structure and 177 items related to the content. The educational intervention should consist of five to eight individual (with the possibility of including a significant family member) and group sessions and focus on the four domains proposed: Adaptation, Attitude/Coping, Emotion/Anxiety, and Resources.

Conclusion:

The consensus reached is essential to highlight nurses’ role in this stage of cancer and assess the effectiveness of this educational intervention.
