METHODS: The sample included 1...
Introduction: Cognitive rehabilitation interventions (CRIs) for cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) have shown promis ing results. However, the acceptability of CRIs in the context of CRCItreatment has not yet been assessed among cancer survivors. Due to the absence of suitable instruments designed to assess the acceptability of CRIs in this population, we developed the Accept ability regarding Cognitive...
