• 1 other identifier: Cindy Multi-Language Online
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 10
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if multi-language patients will find the multi-language capabilities of the online modules useful for better understanding of the general information regarding radiation therapy.

Conditions

Cancer

Keywords

cancer radiation patient education

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Patients will be asked to give their rating (Likert scale) on the usefulness of the information on the patient education site with regard to their upcoming radiation simulation and treatment.

  Within one month of patients initial consultation with the Radiation Oncologist

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Patients will be asked to give their rating (Likert scale) on how easily the online patient education module is to navigate.

  Within one month of patients initial consultation with the Radiation Oncologist

Interventions

Multi-language Online Patient Education Module in addition to standard Patient Teaching OTHER

Patients are usually be given a 5-10 minute "new patient teaching" before their radiation therapy simulation and planning appointment and before their first radiation therapy treatment appointment. Patients will be asked to view an online patient education module before their radiation therapy simulation and planning appointment or before their first radiation therapy treatment appointment. Then patients will be asked to participate in an interview session and fill out a survey (attached). They will still receive "new patient teaching" from the therapists before their radiation therapy simulation and planning or radiation therapy treatment appointment.
