Perceived importance of evidence-based psychosocial clinical guidelines for Hong Kong Chinese women with breast cancer: opinions of patients and health care providers.
The aim of this study was to assess Chinese breast cancer patients' and health care providers' (HCPs) perceptions of psychosocial clinical guidelines developed by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council's National Breast Cancer Centre. ⋯ Chinese women value information provision and question opportunities, highlighting the need of HCPs to address these issues. Interventions that facilitate HCP's provision of psychosocial support in breast cancer should be set as a high priority.
