Chat-based cancer counseling in Switzerland: A reflexive thematic analysis of chat protocols focused on cancer survivors' needs Abstract: Background: The number of people diagnosed with cancer and continue to live as cancer survivors is growing. Together with their relatives, they have information and counseling needs during the illness trajectory. With Cancerline, the Swiss Cancer League offers a chat-based counseling service for cancer survivors. Research question/objective: For the first time, the qualitative study investigated which needs cancer survivors express in Cancerline to gain insights for the further development and quality assurance of chat-based cancer counseling. Methods: Based on the principles of Interpretive Description, 669 chat counseling transcripts were analyzed using Braun et al. (2018) reflexive thematic analysis in an iterative process in six analysis steps. Results: Cancer survivorship needs in Cancerline are multifaceted, and we have identified nine themes: need anonymous chat to communicate, get informed, weigh ethical dilemmas and make decisions, seek meaning and hope, find ways to manage burdensome emotions, resolve social conflict and not burden others, feel understood and give space to own needs, clarify role as significant other acting correctly and seeking security. Conclusions: Chat-based counseling may contribute to supporting cancer survivors with information needs about cancer in a flexible way that is close to everyday life. Professionals can sensitize survivors to chat-based counseling, which makes low-threshold counseling accessible.
