Breast Cancer Patients’ Perceptions of a Virtual Learning Environment for Pretreatment Education

Abstract: The process and technicalities of radiation therapy (RT) for cancer treatment can be challenging for patients to understand as RT involves complex procedures, highly specialised equipment, and radiation itself has limited sensory characteristics. Hence, it is imperative that education programs are specifically planned and developed to suit the needs of patients, address radiation as an entity and include salient visual aids. In this context, the Virtual Environment for Radiotherapy Training (VERT) system, prim… Show more

“…Learner groups and measures of outcomes have been developed within or for local cancer care centre resources and patient education needs. Studies delivered education to patients with a range of cancer diagnoses, with some dedicated studies delivering education to prostate cancer patients and breast cancer patients . Researchers have taken advantage of the VERT system's features including display of computed tomography (CT) datasets which specifically matched their target learner group and education objectives.…”
