Abstract EN
Background.
Health professionals, including general practitioners involved in followup of breast cancer patients, need to systematically assess opportunities to offer patients support with ongoing or new problems.
Methods.
A self-administered needs assessment questionnaire was developed with reference to a multidisciplinary team.
Short, evidence-based, readable questions were emphasized, and questions were tested for face validity.
The questions flowed across three domains: physical, social, and psychological.
Content validity and user friendliness were assessed.
Results.
A final set of 30 questions was rated as easy to read and comprehend (Flesch Reading Ease score 65.8 and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level 6.9).
When piloted with twenty-one patients the self-administered questionnaire detected 121 items of unmet need encompassing all three domains.
Conclusions.
This self-administered questionnaire has the potential to assist in the holistic assessment of breast cancer patient after treatment.
The clinical value of the self-administered questionnaire will need to be further tested before it can be widely adopted.
