Summary

This study tested a brief, nurse-led videoconference program designed to help breast cancer survivors who were hesitant or delayed in starting recommended hormone therapy. The program aimed to address cultural and personal concerns. Researchers measured how many people enrolled, completed sessions, and reported satisfaction. The goal was to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.
