Effect of Telephone Follow‐up on the Physical Well‐Being Dimension of Quality of Life in Patients with Cancer

Abstract

One possible explanation for the lack of effect of the intervention is that high-risk patients in the control group received a similar intervention from other health care professionals. We suggest that telephone follow-up be coordinated among health professionals.
