To determine whether e/Tablets (wireless tablet computers used in community oncology clinics to collect review of systems information at point of care) are feasible, acceptable, and valid for collecting research-quality data in academic oncology. DATA/SETTING: Primary/Duke Breast Cancer Clinic.
Pilot study enrolling sample of 66 breast cancer patients.
Data were collected using paper- and e/Tablet-based surveys: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy General, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast, MD Anderson Symptom Inventory, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT), Self-Efficacy; and two questionnaires: feasibility, satisfaction.
Patients supported e/Tablets as: easy to read (94 percent), easy to respond to (98 percent), comfortable weight (87 percent). Generally, electronic responses validly reflected responses provided by standard paper data collection on nearly all subscales tested.
e/Tablets offer a valid, feasible, acceptable method for collecting research-quality, patient-reported outcomes data in outpatient academic oncology.
确定电子平板电脑(社区肿瘤诊所用于在护理点收集系统信息回顾的无线平板电脑)在学术肿瘤学中收集研究质量数据是否可行、可接受且有效。数据/地点:初级/杜克乳腺癌诊所。
对66名乳腺癌患者样本进行的试点研究。
使用纸质和电子平板电脑调查问卷收集数据:癌症治疗功能评估通用版、癌症治疗功能评估-乳腺癌版、MD安德森症状量表、慢性病治疗功能评估(FACIT)、自我效能感;以及两份问卷:可行性问卷、满意度问卷。
患者支持电子平板电脑,认为其:易于阅读(94%)、易于作答(98%)、重量合适(87%)。总体而言,电子回复在几乎所有测试子量表上均有效反映了标准纸质数据收集所提供的回复。
电子平板电脑为在门诊学术肿瘤学中收集研究质量的、患者报告的结局数据提供了一种有效、可行且可接受的方法。
