Study details
Participants in this study will all receive website content (in a printed format) and a pamphlet which contain information about a clinical pathway for screening and treatment of anxiety and depression in cancer patients. Clinical pathways provide evidence-based recommendations to guide best practice and consistent care for specific patient concerns. This clinical pathway provides a pathway for screening, assessment, referral and treatment of anxiety and depression in cancer care. It was developed by a working group led by PoCoG at the University of Sydney.
Focus groups and/or semi-structured interviews will then be conducted 2 weeks after participants receive the review materials. The focus groups and semi-structured interviews will collect feedback and assess participant’s understanding of clinical pathways.
In this study, we will collect feedback so that we can improve the website content and pamphlet as well as determining patient understanding of a clinical pathway.
