To determine the feasibility of incorporating a brief animated educational video shown during the radiation therapy (RT) consultation appointment for patients with breast cancer and to collect preliminary quality-of-life data.
SAMPLE & SETTING: 20 participants with breast cancer were recruited from an outpatient radiation oncology facility in the southeastern United States.
METHODS & VARIABLES: This single-arm, pre- and post-test feasibility study aimed to assess feasibility and preliminary outcomes of patient-reported anxiety, distress, and RT concerns.
The video intervention demonstrated feasibility, as evidenced by meeting or exceeding benchmarks set for recruitment, retention, and feasibility measured scores. The difference in means of total patient-reported scores comparing pre- to postintervention decreased.
The intervention proved feasible. In addition, the decrease in total mean scores suggests the video may have a positive effect on reducing patient distress, anxiety, and RT concerns.
确定在乳腺癌患者的放射治疗 (RT) 咨询预约期间播放简短的动画教育视频的可行性，并收集初步的生活质量数据。
从美国东南部的一家门诊放射肿瘤学机构招募了 20 名乳腺癌患者。
这项单臂、前后测试的可行性研究旨在评估患者报告的焦虑、痛苦和 RT 担忧的可行性和初步结果。
视频干预达到了可行性标准，表现在招募、保留和可行性测量分数方面都达到或超过了设定的基准。患者报告的总分在干预前后的差值减小。
该干预措施是可行的。此外，总平均分的降低表明，该视频可能对减轻患者的痛苦、焦虑和 RT 担忧有积极影响。
