Completed

• Conditions: Breast Cancer
• Interventions: Behavioral: Survey questionnaire

• Registration Number: NCT05114525
• Lead Sponsor: Stanford University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to conduct a descriptive feasibility study of assessing how patients retain and understand information regarding radiation therapy obtained from an initial consult visit. This study will also pilot the use of visual aids and assess their utility to patients during a consult. The study will provide a baseline to conduct larger studies that will later incorporate additional patient education tools to assess changes in patient understanding of information received in radiation oncology patient consultations.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
post-consultation telephone questionnaire	10 days	assess patient understanding and use of visual aids specifically in radiation oncology consultations

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
correlations between patient survey score as a measure of patient understanding	10 days following consultation	Patients will also be asked to rate the ease of understanding of visual aids provided and their utility in facilitating patient understanding of radiation oncology concepts. It will be analyzed via ANOVA to investigate the association of various factors to the patient's total score. Each participant's interview will be scored based on the following scoring system: Correct"=1point; "Incorrect" = 0 point.
