“…Various authors have conducted formal evaluation of alternate methods of closing the informational gap. There is support for more traditional one-on-one counseling [1,19,31], coaching patients to ask questions prior to the consultation process [5], telephone support [7,16], booklets [6], information cards [22], touch screen information systems [11,30], video [8, 14,36], computerized information systems [10, 22,23,24,26,29,32,34], and Internet [4,15,21]. In addition, multi-method approaches may turn out to be most successful [9, 17,18].…”

Our primary objective was to determine the content and format that is most suitable for educational events targeting patients and carers who are living with advanced cancer. Secondary objectives included examining the differences in information needs between patients and their carers, and providing an estimate of the rate of participation in educational events targeting such patients and carers. Out-patients receiving palliative radiotherapy at Toronto Sunnybrook Regional Cancer Center and their carers were invited to complete the Advanced Cancer Information Needs Survey. One hundred forty-four respondents participated in the survey. The participants identified the management of pain, fatigue, and home palliative care resources as the areas in which information was most needed. Carers displayed greater interest, and the range of topics in which they continue to seek additional information is wider. Thirty-one percent of respondents said they would participate in an educational event. A 'one-on-one' interview approach and short written materials were the preferred sources of information. Our study examined potential content areas and preferred format for proposed educational events targeting patients and carers living with advanced cancer. We also highlighted the reasons for, and potential limitations of this approach. The investment of future effort in evaluating the impact of 1 on 1 interviews and 'short written materials' on the informational needs of patients and carers living with advanced cancer is warranted.

“…Satisfaction significantly increased with the use of a file folder of information booklets and pamphlets among newly-diagnosed cancer patients (p<.0001) (Whelan et al, 1998). However, first-time chemotherapy patients were no more satisfied with use of a teaching book along with a 15-minute, individualized nurse-given patient education session compared with patients receiving the 45-minute standard didactic educational program (Porter, 1998). The one reviewed study which examined patient satisfaction with booklet/pamphlet characteristics found that five cancer booklets differing in content, emphasis, and origin were rated highly by patients with no significant differences found between books (Butow et al, 1998).…”

Individuals and families confronted with cancer experience many and varied educational needs. Cancer education is an important aspect of their care. Yet, over the past three decades, the literature has consistently identified that many patients and family members are dissatisfied with cancer education. This paper examines the literature relevant to one aspect of satisfaction with cancer education, patient and family member satisfaction with cancer-related information, according to patient, provider, and information factors. Gaps in the research are identified and discussed in relation to future research recommendations. The paper concludes with applications to clinical practice.

“…To our knowledge, no study has specifically evaluated nurse‐led models of chemotherapy service delivery. A study by Porter (1998) compared the effects of two nurse‐led education programmes on patients’ knowledge during chemotherapy. However, this looked at nurse‐led information provision rather than evaluation of a whole nurse‐led service.…”
