  • an Educational Video to increase clinical trials enrollment among breast cancer patients
    Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 2009
    Co-Authors: Wei Du, Darlene Mood, Shirish M Gadgeel, Michael S Simon
    Abstract:

    Only 3% of women with breast cancer participate in cancer clinical trials nationwide. The lack of awareness about clinical trials is a significant barrier towards clinical trials participation. A study was conducted at a large urban Comprehensive Cancer Center to test (1) the effectiveness of an 18-min Educational Video on improving attitudes toward clinical trials and trials enrollment among new breast cancer patients seen at the Karmanos Cancer Institute, and (2) to assess racial differences in attitudes regarding clinical trials. Participants were randomized to either the Educational intervention prior to their first oncology clinic appointment or to standard care. A baseline and 2-week post-intervention survey to assess attitudes toward clinical trials participation was completed by participants. Of 218 subjects recruited, 196 (55% white vs. 45% African American (AA)) eligible patients were included in the analysis. A small increase in therapeutic clinical trial enrollment was observed in the intervention arm but was not statistically significant (10.4% vs. 6.1%; P = 0.277). The intervention also did not result in a clear improvement in patients’ attitudes toward clinical trials at posttest. However, a lower enrollment rate for the AA women was noted after adjusting for stage (OR = 0.282, P = 0.049). Significantly more negative scores were noted in 3 out of the 5 baseline attitudinal scales for AA women. The Educational Video did not significantly increase enrollment in breast cancer clinical trials. The findings that AA women had significantly more negative attitudes toward clinical trials than white women may partially explain the racial disparity in enrollment. An Educational Video remains a simple and cost-effective way to educate patients. Future studies should focus on designing a new Educational Video to specifically target cultural and attitudinal barriers in the AA population to more effectively change attitudes and increase trial enrollment.

  • the impact of an Educational Video about radiotherapy and its toxicities in head and neck cancer patients evaluation of patients understanding anxiety depression and quality of life
    Oral Oncology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Diego Tetzner Fernandes, Alan Roger Santossilva, Ana Carolina Pradoribeiro, Renata Lucena Markman, Karina Morais, Karina Moutinho, Juliana Ono Tonaki, Thais Bianca Brandao, Cesar Rivera, Marcio Ajudarte Lopes
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objectives Head and neck radiotherapy can cause several toxicities, and its management has important treatment implications. Proper information about treatment is crucial to assist patients by preparing them and enhancing their ability to manage their illness. Thus, this study aimed to verify the impact of an Educational Video on the improvement of the patient’s understanding, satisfaction, quality of life, and influence on their emotional state in different moments of treatment. Methods A 10 min Video about head and neck radiotherapy and its toxicities was produced. A prospective randomized clinical trial was performed in two groups: a control group (n = 65), which received standard verbal and written information, and an experimental group (n = 65), which received standard information and the Video. Appropriated questionnaires (HADS, UW-QOLv4, IRTU, and Post-RTU) were applied in four different moments in order to evaluate patients’ understanding, anxiety, depression, and quality of life. Results The Video improved the understanding of treatment and its side effects. Also, the Video group reported better awareness about oral health care during the treatment. Osteoradionecrosis and radiation-related caries were the most unknown side effects. On the other hand, the Educational Video did not modify the patients’ anxiety, depression, and quality of life. All patients reported high satisfaction with the Video. Conclusions Audiovisual tools may improve patients' understanding of radiotherapy and were shown to be a useful tool when used in association with verbal and written information in cancer centers. In addition, information about osteoradionecrosis and radiation-related caries must be reinforced to patients.

  • evaluation of an Educational Video to improve the understanding of radiotherapy side effects in head and neck cancer patients
    Supportive Care in Cancer, 2013
    Co-Authors: Wilfredo Alejandro Gonzalezarriagada, Marco Aurelio Carvalho De Andrade, Lara Maria Alencar Ramos, Jose Ribamar Sabino Bezerra, Alan Roger Santossilva, Marcio Ajudarte Lopes
    Abstract:

    Purpose Side effects of head and neck radiotherapy are common and can interfere with treatment. However, scientific information on a patient’s understanding of these complications is scarce and confusing. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of an Educational Video on improving the understanding of head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy about treatment complications.
