Abstract
In a test-retest trial, cancer patients on chemotherapy were given information on side effect management techniques (SEMT). Patients receiving SEMT information reported initiating more self-care behaviors with a higher degree of perceived effectiveness than did the patients who had not received SEMT. The informed patients initiated self-care behaviors before side effects become persistent and severe.Keywords
