The COSS pilot-study will include two Work Packages (WP).
The first one (WP1) has an explorative design. Three workshops with health care professionals and breast cancer survivors will be conducted to co-create the CTS-BC-CH, which will be finalized in a consensus conference.
In the second WP, the feasibility of the program and study design will be tested in a pilot study in two breast centers. Based on the findings from the pilot study, we will plan a randomized controlled trial to investigate the CTS-BC-CH effects on practices in self-management support.
