Background summary
The Breast Care Centre of Medisch Spectrum Twente gives information about
cancer treatment and its consequences to breast cancer patients. This
information is given by the surgeon, the nurse practitioner and the breast care
nurse. Special attention needs to be paid to information provision because of
the complex treatment options, much demand for information and patient
awareness. Nurse practitioners and breast care nurses in the Breast Care
Centre give verbal information and hand out information leaflets. In addition
to this form of information provision, a new form of information is available -
the internet. The internet gives access to a lot of information which also
includes wrong information, information overload and a shortage of information
tailored to the individual. With the help of an web application will the
information be given to the individual patient.
Study objective
Interactive provision of information with the use of web-based applications
should increase patient satisfaction, which is an important performance
factor. This information should be consistent and clear for the patient.
Patient satisfaction is measured by a validated measurement instrument: the
PATSAT32.
Study design
Randomized monocentre trial, quasi-experimental design.
The study lasts 6 months. The study will commence in December 2008 and end in
May 2009. The study will end when a total of 76 patients have been included.
Endpoint
The influence of the use of a web-based application on the patient satisfaction
by education to patients with breast cancer.
Intervention
Prior to the operation, the study group will receive additional information
from the breast care nurse with the use of web-based applications; the control
group will receive the usual verbal information and information leaflets from
the breast care nurse.
Study burden and risks
Breast cancer patients involved in this study may experience some stress
because the diagnosis and the information may raise questions. This study does
not involve any physical risk. Prior to the operation and after admittance the
patients will receive a questionnaire to fill in.
