Healthcare Professionals’ Perceptions of the Implementation of Psychosocial eHealth Tools in Oncology: A Qualitative Study

Purpose As medical demography evolves, with patients living longer, cancer mortality declining, and quality of life gaining importance over survival, eHealth tools such as mobile apps and websites have emerged to support psychosocial care in addition to addressing medical needs. Yet, implementing these tools in cancer care remains complex, affected by multilevel factors ranging from intrinsic motivation and digital literacy (micro) to institutional culture, funding, and health policy (macro). A key limitation may be that many digital tools are not codeveloped between researchers and clinicians, leading to poor transferability. This study aimed to explore healthcare professionals’ perspectives on the implementation of digital supportive care tools for patients with cancer and their relatives. Method A qualitative study was conducted using semistructured interviews held via videoconferencing with healthcare professionals practicing in oncology. Data were analyzed using an inductive thematic analysis. Results Forty‐three healthcare professionals participated. Four main themes emerged: (1) the oncology care context (e.g., workforce shortages, digital healthcare evolution, and geographic disparities); (2) perceived benefits of eHealth tools for patients, caregivers, and providers; (3) desired features and content of such tools (e.g., reliable information, interactive exercises, and symptom tracking); and (4) barriers and facilitators to implementation, including intrinsic motivation, digital access, and institutional support. Conclusions Healthcare professionals recognize the potential of eHealth tools to support patients with cancer and their relatives. However, effective implementation requires early involvement of end users and context‐specific strategies to ensure these tools are truly integrated into cancer care pathways.
