PDQ is a database developed by the National Cancer Institute that provides state-of-the-art information about cancer. A study was conducted to raise healthcare professionals' and patients'/families' awareness and use of PDQ's patient information file (PIF).
Educational presentations and poster displays were presented for health care staff to inform them of PDQ/PIF's attributes and how to access it. To expand awareness among patients and families, poster displays were presented in high-traffic areas; PDQ/PIF statements were redesigned and displayed in patient information racks.
Among health care professionals, a 54% increase was observed in awareness of the PIF. A ninefold increase in the number of PDQ/PIF statements distributed to patients/families was reported.
To maintain a level of awareness among health care professionals, a consistent educational strategy should be implemented. The number of PDQ/PIF statements distributed to patients and families increased, especially those redesigned for visual appeal.
PDQ是美国国立癌症研究所开发的一个数据库，提供有关癌症的最新信息。开展了一项研究，以提高医疗保健专业人员以及患者/家属对PDQ患者信息文件（PIF）的认知度和使用率。
为医护人员举办教育讲座并展示海报，告知他们PDQ/PIF的属性以及如何获取该文件。为扩大患者和家属的认知度，在人流量大的区域展示海报；重新设计了PDQ/PIF说明，并展示在患者信息架上。
在医疗保健专业人员中，对PIF的认知度提高了54%。据报告，分发给患者/家属的PDQ/PIF说明数量增加了九倍。
为保持医疗保健专业人员的认知水平，应实施一致的教育策略。分发给患者和家属的PDQ/PIF说明数量增加了，尤其是那些为吸引视觉效果而重新设计的说明。
