Title: | Patient information preferences among breast and prostate cancer patients | Contributor(s): | Sharpley, Christopher (author) ; Christie, David R H (author) | Publication Date: | 2007 | DOI: | 10.1111/j.1440-1673.2007.01687.x | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/6946 | Abstract: | Preferences for information about their disease and treatment were collected from 392 patients who had been treated for either breast or prostate cancer an average of 2 years previously. Type of information that they had received, their ratings of its value to them and their preferred format for further information were examined. The most common and most preferred form of information was through doctor interview, followed by educational booklets. Prostate cancer patients preferred videotapes; breast cancer patients tended to prefer individualized approaches including a tour of the department. Effects of age, educational levels, occupational backgrounds and self-reports for anxiety and depression at the time of the survey and at time of diagnosis were analysed. Prostate cancer patients who were most severely depressed showed a preference for not receiving any information at all, perhaps reflecting a tendency towards withdrawal. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australasian Radiology, 51(2), p. 154-158 | Publisher: | Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Asia | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 0004-8461 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 110319 Psychiatry (incl Psychotherapy) | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 920102 Cancer and Related Disorders | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal |
