Using descriptive content analysis, interview transcripts were analysed independently and thematically by two researchers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients expressed the strongest preference for annual visits (31\/68), a schedule with a decreasing frequency over time (27\/68), and follow\u2010up\u00a0&gt;\u00a010\u00a0years, including lifelong follow\u2010up (20\/64). The majority (56\/61) preferred to receive follow\u2010up care from the same care provider over time, for reasons related to a personal doctor\u2013patient relationship and the physician's knowledge of the patient's history. About 75% (43\/56) preferred specialist follow\u2010up to other follow\u2010up models. However, primary care\u2010based follow\u2010up would be accepted by 57% (39\/68) provided that there is good communication between <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">GP<\/jats:styled-content>s and specialists, and sufficient knowledge among <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">GP<\/jats:styled-content>s about follow\u2010up. Perceived benefits of primary care\u2010based follow\u2010up referred to the personal nature of the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">GP<\/jats:styled-content>\u2013patient relationship and the easy access to primary care. Perceived barriers included limited oncology knowledge and skills, time available, motivation among <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">GP<\/jats:styled-content>s to provide follow\u2010up care and patients' confidence with the present specialist follow\u2010up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>More than half of the patients were open to primary care\u2010based follow\u2010up. Patients' confidence with this follow\u2010up model may increase by using survivorship care plans to facilitate communication across the primary\/secondary interface and with patients. Training <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">GP<\/jats:styled-content>s to improve their oncology knowledge and skills might also increase patients' confidence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/hex.12189","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,25]],"date-time":"2014-03-25T05:49:40Z","timestamp":1395726580000},"page":"2192-2201","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Patients' preferences for post\u2010treatment breast cancer follow\u2010up in primary care vs. secondary care: a qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Carriene","family":"Roorda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Practice Department of Epidemiology University of Groningen University Medical Center Groningen Groningen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Geertruida H.","family":"de Bock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology University of Groningen University Medical Center Groningen Groningen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Scholing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Practice University of Groningen University Medical Center Groningen Groningen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Klaas","family":"van der Meer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Practice University of Groningen University Medical Center Groningen Groningen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marjolein Y.","family":"Berger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Practice University of Groningen University Medical Center Groningen Groningen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marlieke","family":"de Fouw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Practice University of Groningen University Medical Center Groningen Groningen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annette J.","family":"Berendsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Practice University of Groningen University Medical Center Groningen Groningen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.20107"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1586\/14737140.4.2.212"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","volume-title":"Nazorg bij kanker: de rol van de eerstelijn","author":"Knottnerus JA","year":"2011"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bjc.6601655"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.2011.36.9264"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/02841860903536002"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1054\/brst.2002.0411"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejso.2011.06.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.313.7058.665"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.2005.03.2235"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","first-page":"311","article-title":"Follow up after breast cancer \u2013 views of Australian women","volume":"40","author":"Brennan M","year":"2011","journal-title":"Australian Family Physician"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.breast.2010.12.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11606-009-1000-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1099-1611(1998090)7:5<436::AID-PON319>3.0.CO;2-C"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMp0707383"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_17_1","volume-title":"Mammacarcinoom.
