“…Health disparities persist and for many diseases and populations are registering disturbing increases (Williams, 2012) despite targeted efforts (Institute of Medicine, 2003, 2012) and ongoing research (Ashing et al, 2015; Best et al, 2015; Fleisher et al, 2016; Gwede et al, 2015; Lu et al, 2015; Meade et al, 2015; Sly et al, 2015). Recent reports document widening health inequities in overall life expectancy (Kochanek et al, 2015; Olshansky et al, 2012) and specific diseases such as a widening disparity in breast cancer mortality between African Americans 1 and whites (DeSantis et al, 2016), increasing diabetes incidence among individuals with the lowest income and education levels (Beckles & Chou, 2013), and worsening burden of sexually transmitted infections and cancer among men who have sex with men (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015; Quinn et al, 2015).…”

Health disparities persist despite ongoing efforts. Given the United States’ rapidly changing demography and socio-cultural diversity, a paradigm shift in behavioral medicine is needed to advance research and interventions focused on health equity. This paper introduces the Con-NECT Framework as a model to link the sciences of behavioral medicine and health equity with the goal of achieving equitable health and outcomes in the twenty-first century. We first evaluate the state of health equity efforts in behavioral medicine science and identify key opportunities to advance the field. We then discuss and present actionable recommendations related to ConNECT’s five broad and synergistic principles: (1) Integrating Context; (2) Fostering a Norm of Inclusion; (3) Ensuring Equitable Diffusion of Innovations; (4) Harnessing Communication Technology; and (5) Prioritizing Specialized Training. The framework holds significant promise for furthering health equity and ushering in a new and refreshing era of behavioral medicine science and practice.

“…Essa diversidade de características contribuiu para a equivalência semântica, gerando modificações nos termos técnicos da área da saúde, além da influência no julgamento do material avaliado, possibilitando um cenário mais realista, com diversos fatores interrelacionados com as necessidades e com o espectro de recursos. (8,21) O plano de cuidados de sobrevivência deve ser capaz de informar sobre o percurso transcorrido no processo de adoecimento pelo câncer mas, também, de educar os sobreviventes e prestadores de cuidados de saúde sobre a transição do tratamento do câncer para os cuidados de seguimento, com consequente melhora na quantidade de informações fornecidas, bem como, na qualidade da comunicação e coordenação entre os profissionais de saúde e pacientes. (22,23) Nesse sentido, validar o material educativo com o público-alvo foi essencial e a literatura reforça os benefícios que também foram percebidos nesta investigação.…”

“…Based on the promising results of the TSSCP-S and the understanding that care plans need to be adapted to meet the linguistic and cultural needs of survivors for effective outcomes [14], a subsequent study was conducted to translate and validate the model in Brazilian Portuguese. This led to the development of the TSSCP-P, which demonstrated content validity indexes greater than 0.8 [15].…”

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an intervention using the Treatment Summary and Survivorship Care Plan (TSSCP-P) on self-efficacy and quality of life (QoL) in breast cancer survivors. Method A clinical study, randomized and controlled, conducted to assess self-efficacy and QOL in breast cancer survivors. The participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group received individualized nursing consultations guided by the TSSCP-P, while the control group received standard care. Self-efficacy and QoL were assessed at three evaluation moments using validated scales: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast Plus Anm Morbidity (FACT B + 4) and Perceived General Self-Efficacy Scale. Statistical analyses, including regression analysis and hypothesis tests, were conducted to examine the effects of the intervention on self-efficacy and QoL. Results Female breast cancer survivors (N = 101) were recruited. The intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in self-efficacy over time compared to the control group (p = 0.01). However, no significant differences were observed in the overall QoL scores between the two groups. Subscale analysis revealed a significant improvement in physical well-being for the intervention group (p = 0.04), while emotional well-being showed a non-significant improvement (p = 0.07). The study suggests that individualized care plans and support strategies, such as the TSSCP-P, can positively influence breast cancer survivors’ self-efficacy and certain aspects of their QoL. Conclusion These findings highlight the potential benefits of the TSSCP-P intervention in enhancing self-efficacy among breast cancer survivors. However, further research is needed to explore its impact on overall QoL and its effectiveness across different stages of breast cancer, as well as with longer follow-up periods.
