The web-based self-management application Oncokompas was developed to support cancer survivors to monitor health-related quality of life and symptoms (Measure) and to provide tailored information (Learn) and supportive care options (Act). In a previously reported randomised controlled trial (RCT), 68% of 655 recruited survivors were eligible, and of those 45% participated in the RCT. Among participants of the RCT that were randomised to the intervention group, 52% used Oncokompas as intended. The aim of this study was to explore reasons for not participating in the RCT, and reasons for not using Oncokompas among non-users, and the use and evaluation of Oncokompas among users.
Reasons for not participating were assessed with a study-specific questionnaire among 243 survivors who declined participation. Usage was investigated among 320 participants randomised to the intervention group of the RCT via system data and a study-specific questionnaire that was assessed during the 1 week follow-up (T1) assessment.
Main reasons for not participating were not interested in participation in scientific research (40%) and not interested in scientific research and Oncokompas (28%). Main reasons for not being interested in Oncokompas were wanting to leave the period of being ill behind (29%), no symptom burden (23%), or lacking internet skills (18%). Out of the 320 participants in the intervention group 167 (52%) used Oncokompas as intended. Among 72 non-users, main reasons for not using Oncokompas were no symptom burden (32%) or lack of time (26%). Among 248 survivors that activated their account, satisfaction and user-friendliness were rated with a 7 (scale 0-10). Within 3 (IQR 1-4) sessions, users selected 32 (IQR 6-37) topics. Main reasons for not using healthcare options in Act were that the information in Learn was already sufficient (44%) or no supportive care needs (32%).
Main reasons for not reaching or using Oncokompas were no symptom burden, no supportive care needs, or lack of time. Users selected many cancer-generic and tumour-specific topics to address, indicating added value of the wide range of available topics.
基于网络的自我管理应用程序Oncokompas旨在支持癌症幸存者监测与健康相关的生活质量和症状(测量),并提供量身定制的信息(学习)和支持性护理选项(行动)。在先前报道的一项随机对照试验(RCT)中,655名招募的幸存者中有68%符合条件,其中45%参与了该RCT。在随机分配到干预组的RCT参与者中,52%按预期使用了Oncokompas。本研究的目的是探讨未参与RCT的原因、非使用者中未使用Oncokompas的原因以及使用者对Oncokompas的使用和评价。
通过一份针对特定研究的问卷,对243名拒绝参与的幸存者评估未参与的原因。通过系统数据和一份在1周随访(T1)评估期间进行评估的针对特定研究的问卷,对随机分配到RCT干预组的320名参与者的使用情况进行调查。
未参与的主要原因是对参与科学研究不感兴趣(40%)以及对科学研究和Oncokompas都不感兴趣(28%)。对Oncokompas不感兴趣的主要原因是想告别患病时期(29%)、没有症状负担(23%)或缺乏互联网技能(18%)。在干预组的320名参与者中,167名(52%)按预期使用了Oncokompas。在72名未使用者中,未使用Oncokompas的主要原因是没有症状负担(32%)或没有时间(26%)。在248名激活账户的幸存者中,满意度和用户友好度评分为7(0 - 10分制)。在3(四分位间距1 - 4)次会话中用户选择了32(四分位间距6 - 37)个主题。在“行动”中未使用医疗保健选项的主要原因是“学习”中的信息已经足够(44%)或没有支持性护理需求(32%)。
未接触或使用Oncokompas的主要原因是没有症状负担、没有支持性护理需求或没有时间。用户选择了许多癌症通用和肿瘤特异性主题来关注,表明大量可用主题具有附加价值。
