No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The systematic recording of patient-reported symptoms and health-related quality of life (patient-reported outcomes, PROs) is a central component of oncological care. Currently, however, screening for support needs in German hospitals is inconsistent and uses different assessment tools, leading to heterogeneity, redundant surveys, and limited comparability of results. This complicates standardized, patient-centered, and cross-sector care, as well as the early identification of therapy-associated side effects and support needs.

The aim of the study is to investigate the acceptance and relevance of the core set of questions from the perspective of both cancer patients and professional healthcare providers. Cancer patient acceptance will be measured by the proportion of fully completed questionnaires, while cancer patient relevance will be assessed using a feedback form. The professional perspective will be gathered through guided feedback in quality circles conducted regularly in accordance with internal standards
