The study found a content validity ratio (CVR) of 0.9 to 1, Cronbach’s α of 0.90, correlation significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed), and clarity of the questionnaire at 91.29%. The standard error of measurement (SEM) and small detectable changes (SDC) for overall care need scores were measured 2.70 and 7.47 respectively. All items were accepted as per the original SCNS-SF34. Following the respondents’ suggestions, simpler Nepali words were chosen in some items to replace the words in the preliminary Nepali version of SCNS-SF34. Conclusion: Preliminary findings show that the Nepali translation of SCNS-SF34 is practical and applicable to the Nepali population. Financial supportive care needs, supportive care for caretakers and problems during patient hospital stays are essential to include in the questionnaire to further explore supportive care needs.]]> Tue 17 Oct 2023 14:44:51 AEDT ]]> The impact of loss of income and medicine costs on the financial burden for cancer patients in Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24256 Thu 24 Mar 2022 11:32:37 AEDT ]]> The impact of cancer diagnosis and treatment on employment, income, treatment decisions and financial assistance and their relationship to socioeconomic and disease factors https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25829 Thu 24 Mar 2022 11:31:19 AEDT ]]> Examining variation across treatment clinics in cancer patients' psychological outcomes: results of a cross sectional survey https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44675 Thu 20 Oct 2022 08:35:33 AEDT ]]> Help-seeking behaviour in newly diagnosed lung cancer patients: assessing the role of perceived stigma https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36831 Thu 13 Jan 2022 10:30:04 AEDT ]]> Burden and unmet needs of caregivers of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients: a systematic review of the volume and focus of research output https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29899 n = 25), with one measurement and one intervention study identified. Fourteen descriptive studies measured the relationship between patient or caregiver factors and caregiver burden. Only two studies measured caregiver burden over time. There are a number of gaps in the body of research examining burden and unmet needs of caregivers of individuals with COPD that preclude the development of effective interventions for this population. Greater research effort should be directed towards identifying rigorous measurement tools which more accurately characterise caregiver burden, so that evidence-based interventions can be developed.]]> Thu 06 Aug 2020 11:58:49 AEST ]]> Travelling all over the countryside: travel-related burden and financial difficulties reported by cancer patients in New South Wales and Victoria https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13558 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:35:33 AEDT ]]> Brief assessment of adult cancer patients' perceived needs: development and validation of the 34-item Supportive Care Needs Survey (SCNS-SF34) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7004 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:37:50 AEDT ]]> Proactive routine monitoring and intervention to reduce the psychosocial impact of cancer therapy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1513 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:30:26 AEDT ]]> Rapid assessment of psychosocial well-being: are computers the way forward in a clinical setting? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1409 0.41) in identifying patients with elevated levels of anxiety and depression; there were no significant differences in the proportion of patients identified with elevated levels of anxiety and depression according to computer survey compared to paper survey. Prevalence-adjusted bias-adjusted κ (PABAK) coefficients indicated at least moderate agreement (X = 0.79) in identifying participants with moderate/high levels of unmet needs. However, participants tended to report lower levels of unmet needs with a simplified response format in the computerised SCNS-short compared to the paper survey. This was not observed when the response format of the computerised SCNS-short replicated the paper survey. Conclusions: Despite the advantages that computerised surveys offer for simplifying survey presentation, current results suggest the need to exactly replicate the question and response option format of the original paper survey to ensure the data collected are equivalent. This finding is particularly important given the potential application of computerised surveys in the clinical setting to quickly assess and identify patients’ concerns requiring intervention by health care providers.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:28:16 AEDT ]]> Cancer and the psycho-oncologist: psychosocial well-being of cancer survivors https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11402 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:09:59 AEDT ]]> A cross-sectional study examining Australian general practitioners' identification of overweight and obese patients https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17461 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:04:06 AEDT ]]> Some things change, some things stay the same: a longitudinal analysis of cancer caregivers' unmet supportive care needs https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20257 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:56 AEDT ]]> Do cancer helplines deliver benefits to people affected by cancer?

Fourteen intervention studies met EPOC design criteria. Face-to-face interventions reported benefits for anxiety (5/7), satisfaction (1/1), knowledge (3/3) and health care costs (1/1). Audio-visual and multi-media interventions improved satisfaction (1/1) and knowledge (2/3), but not anxiety (0/3). Written interventions were mixed. Conclusion: Descriptive studies dominate the literature examining preoperative education in oncology populations, with few rigorous intervention studies. Pre-operative education can improve satisfaction, knowledge and reduce anxiety. Practice implications: Further work should be directed at multi-modal interventions, and those that include the caregiver, given their role in assisting patients to prepare and recover from surgery.]]> Fri 10 Mar 2023 17:42:38 AEDT ]]> The perspectives of haematological cancer patients on tissue banking https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25151 Fri 10 Mar 2023 17:05:35 AEDT ]]>
