Main Methods:

  • Online surveys were administered to 27 cancer survivors/patients in a rural oncology program.
  • A mixed-methods approach combined quantitative satisfaction measures with qualitative thematic analysis.
  • Data analysis utilized descriptive statistics and template analysis based on HBM and TPB constructs.

Main Results:

  • Participants reported general satisfaction with telehealth and willingness to use it again.
  • Key benefits included ease of use and expanded access to cancer support groups.
  • Identified barriers comprised lack of interpersonal connection, internet access issues, and technical difficulties.

Conclusions:

  • Telehealth-based cancer support groups are perceived positively in rural settings, offering improved access.
  • A balanced approach is needed to leverage telehealth's potential while addressing its limitations.
  • Findings guide the development of effective digital health interventions for rural cancer care.
