To test the feasibility and efficacy of a multifaceted model shared care for men after completion treatment prostate cancer.Men who had completed low- to moderate-risk cancer within previous 8 weeks were eligible. Participants randomized usual or care. Shared entailed substituting two hospital visits with three in primary care, survivorship plan, recall reminders, screening distress unmet needs. Outcome measures included psychological distress, cancer-specific quality life, satisfaction...
Objective In the past decade, localised prostate cancer (LPC) management has been shifting from three radical treatment options (radical prostatectomy, external beam radiotherapy, or brachytherapy) to also include active surveillance (AS). This study examines men with LPC and partners' experiences of choosing between AS treatments, their when selected. Methods A qualitative descriptive research design was used. Interviewed participants were men, partners who either had chosen immediately...
Despite improved recognition regarding the importance and association between provision of high quality information for people affected by cancer outcomes experiences; gaps unmet needs are still reported. As oncology health increasingly moves online, understanding how service users experience manage misinformation is important. Determining patient carer preferences needed to address outstanding gaps.This study utilised a purpose-built national cross-sectional survey distributed via social...

Migrant oncology patients experience increased morbidity, mortality psychological distress, with this tentatively linked language communication difficulties. The objective of exploratory study was investigate barriers challenges experienced Arabic, Greek Chinese (Mandarin Cantonese) speaking in Australia. Methods This employed...
Background Recent advances in the development of immunotherapy drugs have resulted durable responses and improved overall survival for a proportion patients with advanced melanoma; however, toxicities can be potentially life-threatening. The patients' family friends (carers) are relied upon to support at home post treatment; we know little about their experiences. Objectives This study aimed understand experiences melanoma who received carers; explore impact treatment on carers' quality life...
Many patients choose to audio-record their medical consultations so that they can relisten them at home and share with family. Consultation audio-recordings improve patients' recall understanding of information increase involvement in decision making. A hospital-endorsed consultation audio-recording mobile app would provide the permission means consultations. The Theory Planned Behavior provides a framework for how be encouraged appropriately consultations.The aim this study was use...
Abstract Objective Ethnicity and migrant status result in disparities with cancer burden survival, communication difficulties cited as the main barrier to access. Our research team tested a intervention package comprising consultation audio‐recordings (ARs) question prompt lists (QPLs) for low English‐speaking (LES) patients cancer. This study explored LES patient experiences, preferences, recommendations regarding package. Methods Participants completed questionnaire qualitative interview...
Unmanaged consequences of cancer and its treatment are high among patients with lung their informal carers, resulting in avoidable healthcare use financial burden. Provision supportive care addressing the impacts has demonstrated efficacy mitigating these consequences; however, globally, there is a lack investment services. Paucity robust economic evidence regarding benefit limited policy impact allocation resources. This study therefore utilised Social Return on Investment (SROI)...
Men with prostate cancer require long-term follow-up to monitor disease progression and manage common adverse physical psychosocial consequences of treatment. There is growing recognition the potential role primary care in follow-up. This paper describes protocol for a phase II multisite randomised controlled trial novel model shared men after completing treatment low-moderate risk cancer.
Abstract Background High quality supportive care is fundamental to achieve optimal health outcomes for people affected by cancer. Use of indicators provides comparative information monitoring, management, and improvement within across healthcare systems. The aim this Australian study was develop test a minimum viable set cancer that would be feasible implement generate usable data policy practice. Methods A two-round, modified reactive Delphi process employed firstto the proposed indicators....

Objective: Treatment with immunotherapy has positively changed the long-term outlook of many patients advanced melanoma; however, fatigue is a common and debilitating side effect. Evidence indicates exercise can improve treatment-related for receiving chemotherapy radiotherapy. However, currently little known about behaviors preferences immunotherapy. This project aimed to describe self-reported levels related immunotherapy; patient perspectives behaviors; barriers facilitators engagement in...
As cancer therapies increase in their complexity, effective communication among patients, physicians, and research staff is critical for optimal clinical trial management. Currently, we understand little about on-trial practices patient experiences over time. This mixed-method study explored of participating a drug at different time points, focussing on with staff.Patients enrolled trials conducted the Parkville Cancer Clinical Trials Unit were invited to complete tailored online survey...

Novel interventions such as often fail be implemented post pilot-testing owing inadequate user (UX) assessment, key component of comprehensive implementation strategy.This study aimed pilot the within an active clinical setting...
Introduction There is increasing evidence demonstrating the benefits of exercise in counteracting cancer treatment-related fatigue. Immunotherapy an established treatment for advanced melanoma, and associated with fatigue a third patients. The safety efficacy patients melanoma receiving immunotherapy are yet to be determined. This study aims assess safety, adherence acceptability mixed-methods parallel-group, pilot randomised controlled trial personalised, 12-week semi-supervised programme...
Abstract Background Active surveillance (AS) is the disease management option of choice for low-risk prostate cancer. Despite this, men with cancer (LRPC) find decisions distressing and confusing. We developed Navigate , an online decision aid to help their partners make consistent values. The aims are evaluate impact on uptake AS; decision-making preparedness; decisional conflict, regret satisfaction; quality illness communication; cancer-specific life anxiety. In addition, healthcare cost...
Abstract Background Many patients who require an interpreter have difficulty remembering information from their medical consultations. Memory aids such as consultation audio‐recordings may be of benefit to these patients. However, there is no established means measuring patients’ memory information. Objectives This study aimed develop a method for eliciting and coding recall in non‐English‐speaking Design method, called Patient‐Interpreter‐Clinician ( PIC code), was developed the context...
