Abstract

INTRODUCTIONWorldwide, approximately 1 million young adults (18–39 years) are annually diagnosed with cancer. Due to improved cancer treatment, their 5‐year survival rate exceeds 80% (Barr et al., 2016). Young adult cancer survivors (YACS), comprising individuals who have completed primary cancer treatment, differ from older counterparts as they are in a phase of life where they develop identity, establish relationships, attend school or university, enter work life and establish their own families (Feuerstein, 2007; Janssen et al., 2021; Parsons et al., 2012; Warner et al., 2016; Zebrack, 2011). Hence, it is crucial to focus on YACS as a distinct group with needs different from those of other cancer survivors (Barnett et al., 2016; D'Agostino et al., 2011; Galán et al., 2018; Richter et al., 2015; Zebrack, 2009).YACS often encounter a multiplicity of physical and psychological late effects caused by cancer and its treatment, for example, fatigue, lymphoedema, concentration and memory problems, sexual problems and psychological distress. This challenges their everyday life as per activities of daily living and social participation, including education, work and leisure (Janssen et al., 2021).
