Significant improvements in SPA scores were observed in six of the seven SPA assessment categories: use of survivorship care plan, review of disease and treatment details, long-term effects, potential late effects, specific physician recommendations, and additional health maintenance recommendations. The intervention had significant effects on physicians? uptake of new strategies and skills, as measured through pre- and posttraining SPAs, as well as on the physicians? self-efficacy about having these conversations.
