Evidence supports the role of prescribed exercise for cancer survivors, yet few are advised to by a healthcare practitioner (HCP). We sought investigate gap between HCPs' knowledge and practice from an international perspective.An online questionnaire was administered HCPs working in care February 2020 2021. The assessed knowledge, beliefs, practices regarding counselling referral survivors programs.The completed 375 participants classified as medical practitioners (42%), nurses (28%),...
PURPOSE Implementation of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) collection is an important priority in cancer care. We examined perceived barriers toward implementing PRO between centers with and without infrastructure administrators nonadministrators. PATIENTS AND METHODS performed a multinational survey oncology practitioners on their to implementations. Multivariable regression models evaluated for differences implementation groups, adjusted demographic institutional variables. RESULTS Among...
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to identify challenges and facilitators in accessing cancer care South Australia, from the perspectives of survivors caregivers, inform responsive navigation approaches. Methods A qualitative descriptive was conducted using an online survey ( n = 75) video, phone, in-person semi-structured interviews 22) with caregivers (herein consumers). Data analysis performed two phases: content categorised consumer facilitators, while a subjective-inductive approach...
Attrition and subsequent missing data pose a challenge in longitudinal research oncology. This study examined factors associated with attrition the PROFILES registry, its impact on observed health-related quality of life (HRQOL) estimates.Sociodemographic, clinical, HRQOL were collected annually from cohort 2625 colorectal cancer survivors between 2010 2015. Participant characteristics according to time dropout compared using analysis variance chi-square tests. Predictors logistic regression...
Although most Australians are unaware of the risk, there is strong evidence for a direct link between alcohol consumption and many types cancer. Warning labels on products have been proposed as cost-effective strategy to inform community this health risk. We aimed identify how might respond such an approach. conducted national online survey canvassing responses four separate cancer warning messages labels. The graphically presented were informed by qualitative data from series focus groups...
Abstract Purpose Core outcome sets aim to improve the consistency and quality of research by providing agreed-upon recommendations regarding what outcomes should be measured as a minimum for population setting. This study aimed identify core set patient-reported (PROs) representing most important issues impacting on cancer survivors’ long-term health, functioning, life, inform population-based survivorship. Methods In phase I, list 46 was generated through focus groups ( n = 5) with...
Breast cancer (BC) incidence in Australian women aged 45 to 64 years ('middle-aged') has tripled the past 50 years, along with increasing alcohol consumption and obesity middle-age women. Alcohol have been individually associated BC but little is known about how these factors might interact. Chronic psychological stress with, not causally linked to, BC. Here, could represent 'missing link' – reflecting self-medication. Using an exploratory cross-sectional design, we investigated...
Abstract Purpose Circadian rhythms control a wide range of physiological processes and may be associated with fatigue, depression, sleep problems. We aimed to identify subgroups breast cancer survivors based on symptoms insomnia, depression; assess whether circadian parameters (i.e., chronotype, amplitude, stability) were these over time. Methods Among survivors, usual assessed at 3–4 months after diagnosis (T0), insomnia 2–3 years (T1, N = 265) 6–8 (T2, 169). applied latent class analysis...
Objective This study aimed to investigate factors that inhibit and facilitate discussion about alcohol between general practitioners (GPs) patients. Design Data analysis from a cross-sectional survey. Setting participants 894 GP delegates of national health seminar series held in five capital cities Australia 2014. Main outcome measures Likelihood routine enquiry; self-assessed confidence assessing managing issues primary healthcare. Results Most GPs (87%) reported they were likely routinely...
There is a recognised need for reported national data that inform health policy, professions, and consumers about the wellbeing of Australians with cancer other chronic conditions. International initiatives have demonstrated viability benefits utilising population-based registries to monitor prevalence trajectory health-related quality life (HRQOL) outcomes among people cancer. Establishing similar level monitoring in Australia would require timely access collected by publicly funded,...
The Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Aboriginal) population has a higher age-standardised cancer mortality rate significantly lower 5-year survival for all cancers than the non-Aboriginal population. people from regional remote South Australia Northern Territory, are often required to travel Adelaide access specialist care services. burden expenses associated with transport accommodation cultural linguistic factors have been identified as barriers accessing medical treatment...
Background Core outcome sets seek to improve the consistency and quality of research by providing agreed-upon recommendations regarding what outcomes should be measured as a minimum for population setting. The problems arising from lack standardization in population-based cancer survivorship indicate need agreement on core set patient-reported (PROs) enhance data quality, consistency, comparability. Objective This study aims identify PROs, representing most important issues impacting...
