Abstract:
Self-advocacy can improve cancer survivors' symptom burden, quality of life, and well-being, which also plays a pivotal role in promoting cancer survivors' participation in medical decision-making and self-management. Based on research in China and abroad, this article introduces the concept of cancer survivors' self-advocacy and its role in cancer survivors, expounds the relevant factors that affect self-advocacy, and analyzes the application status and limitations of assessment tools and intervention methods. This article puts forward a prospect for the future research on self-advocacy of cancer survivors in China, in order to promote the participation in medical decision-making and the quality of self-management of cancer survivors in China from the new perspective of self-advocacy.
