Abstract
Specialized care for fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) exists, but there remains a need for easily accessible interventions for moderate FCR. Recently, a short primary care intervention was shown to be effective in reducing FCR. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of this intervention by interviewing patients (n = 9) and mental health workers (MHWs; n = 13). The interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. The intervention was appreciated for being recognizable, adaptable and stimulating self-management. The combination of an online program and sessions with a mental health worker was also appreciated. The program appeared less suitable for patients lacking certain digital or language skills. The primary care setting was considered very suitable for the intervention, as it addresses both physical and psychosocial complaints. In conclusion, we recommend implementing the program in practice as it is considered feasible and acceptable and has previously been shown effective in reducing FCR.
