Patients with various forms of cancer often have unmet psychosocial support needs. By interpretative phenomenological approach, this study aimed to acquire a deeper understanding of home-living patients with cancer’s experience and meaning from videoconferencing in oncological nursing follow-up in primary healthcare and contact with networks. Six patients from rural Norway participated. Three themes emerged: (1) From skepticism to videoconferencing-enthusiasm; (2) Oncology nurses ensured tablet mastery and delivered close follow-up; and (3) Oncology nurses helped ensure general social support using videoconferencing. Oncology follow-up care in rural areas using videoconferencing may enhance care availability and provision of psychosocial support meeting patients’ needs.

患有各种形式的癌症的患者常常需要满足社会心理支持的需求。通过解释性现象学方法，本研究旨在通过电视会议在初级医疗保健机构中进行的肿瘤护理随访以及与网络的接触，来更深入地了解患有癌症的居家患者的经验和意义。挪威农村地区的六名患者参加了会议。出现了三个主题：（1）从怀疑主义到视频会议热情；（2）肿瘤科护士确保掌握片剂并进行密切随访；（3）肿瘤科护士通过视频会议帮助确保了总体的社会支持。使用视频会议在农村地区进行肿瘤学后续护理可以提高护理的可用性，并提供满足患者需求的社会心理支持。
