Summary

The participants are invited to participate in a research study. It is important to the investigators that the participants first take time to read through and understand the information provided in this sheet. Nevertheless, before the participants take part in this research study, the study will be explained to the participants and the participants will be given the chance to ask questions. After the participants are properly satisfied that they understand this study, and that they wish to take part in the study, they must sign this informed consent form. The participants will be given a copy of this consent form to take home with them.

Telemedicine is the use of technology for patients to communicate with doctors and healthcare professionals without visiting the hospital/clinic personally. In colorectal cancer (CRC) care, telemedicine has been suggested for post-surgery follow-up via telephone consultations and video consultation. Although telemedicine is increasingly being adopted as an alternative to long-term healthcare, little is known about the acceptability of such remote care alternatives by CRC patients in Singapore.

The participants are invited because they underwent surgery for colorectal cancer 1 to 4 years ago, are Singaporean or permanent resident of Singapore and 65 years and above. As such, the investigators want to find out about the participants' knowledge, barriers and perceptions toward the use of telemedicine as an alternative to their existing CRC care.
