Abstract
Adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with cancer have few opportunities to interact with peers in their lives. To meet peers safely during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a hospital-based online patients support program called Online AYA Hiroba was launched for AYA patients with cancer and held regularly by the National Cancer Center Hospital in Japan. This retrospective study suggested the degree of satisfaction with this program and issues about facilitating the sessions that are unique to the online environment. Our findings potentially contribute to the establishment of a hospital-based online patients support program for AYA patients with cancer at other hospitals.
