NCT05940753

Brief Summary

This is a cross-sectional study in the form of a flash mob study, in which an inventory will be made on 13 and 14 March 2023 of the willingness to travel of oncology patients in the participating hospitals. Patients who have an appointment with an internist-oncologist or oncology specialist nurse at the outpatient clinic or by telephone and patients who come to day treatment unit for medical oncology are asked to participate. Willingness to travel is examined by means of a survey, in which a minimal set of categorized patient data (e.g. age, gender, level of education) is collected as part of the survey.

Interventions

No intervention. Willingness to travel is examined through a survey. The survey will be conducted digitally, but may also be done on paper. In the survey a minimal set of categorized patient data (e.g. age, gender, level of education) is collected as part of the survey. For patients who cannot independently complete the questionnaire (for example due to low literacy skills), a volunteer, medical student or researcher is allowed to help the patient.
