Plain Language and Health Literacy for the Oncology Family Caregiver: Examining an English/Spanish mHealth Resource
Objectives:
To explore an mHealth resource to support the limited-English-proficient cancer family caregiver.
Data Sources:
Structured interviews with oncology clinic providers to assess a nurse-delivered resource to support health literacy and decision-making along the cancer trajectory.
Conclusion:
Limitations in communicating about oncology care with limited-English caregivers is evident. The mHealth resource examined here shows promise to improve relational health literacy between the oncology nurse and family caregiver.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
Communicating with limited-English-proficient family caregivers invites oncology nurses to seek out resources to create shared understanding.
