Abstract

Patients with cancer and their caregivers were motivated to use modern technology to improve cancer DHL, despite the quality issues raised by health care professionals. The participants' preferences regarding DHL training align with the innovative microlearning pedagogy. Microlearning could leverage technology to deliver tailored DHL training for patients with cancer. Collaboration with multiple medical and nonmedical stakeholders could facilitate the delivery of cancer DHL training. Future work should focus on designing and assessing the feasibility of implementing a microlearning-based DHL training program that involves end users and diverse stakeholders.
