“…Educating patients about their disease, its treatment, potential side effects, and qol can reduce anxiety 8 , enhance coping mechanisms 9 , reduce decisional conflicts, promote patient autonomy, and improve the patient experience 10 . Patients who understand their disease and its treatment also comply better with therapy 11 , which translates into better outcomes.…”

An analysis of Internet and computer-based education programs for prostate cancer patients reported a significant increase in disease knowledge and satisfaction with treatment options 11 . Another study adopted an experimental time series design by comparing two groups of 25 cancer patients matched by treatment type and sex.…”

Aim We aimed to assess the relationships of patient education with the severity of treatment-induced side effects, daily calorie and protein intake, psychological status, and performance status in patients with lung cancer. MethodsThe study patients were divided into an intervention (n = 62) and a control group (n = 110). The patients in the intervention group were provided with information about treatment, diet, and rehabilitation during chemotherapy. The patients in the control group were not specially provided with that information. ResultsWe observed significant differences between the intervention and control groups with respect to low daily protein intake (54.84% vs. 70.00%, p = 0.046), prevalence of depression (51.61% vs. 70.91%, p = 0.011), prevalence of severe side effects of treatment (14.52% vs. 37.27%, p = 0.002), and good performance status (75.81% vs. 55.45%, p = 0.008).Conclusions Our results suggest that educating patients about cancer treatment and rehabilitation can lead to increased protein intake, a lower prevalence of depression, lesser side effects from cancer treatments, and improved performance status.

“…Although several systematic reviews compare CBLSs with standard education [1,[29][30][31][32][33], these reviews include studies dating from 1983 [30]. The quality of modern-day CBLSs is unrivaled by that of three decades ago.…”

Introduction: Patient education is fundamental to high-quality care, enabling patient empowerment and improving outcomes and quality of life. Therefore, identifying the most effective education method should take precedence. Modern society relies heavily on technology and the Internet. Consequently, computer-based learning systems (CBLSs) have been introduced to increase information efficacy. This review aims to establish whether CBLSs should replace standard education for cancer populations.Methods: A systematic review of up-to-date studies comparing CBLSs and standard education for cancer patients was conducted. Results were assessed in terms of outcomes (knowledge, satisfaction, and decision making) and patient characteristics (age, sex, and socioeconomic status).Results: Results are conflicting. Although CBLSs scored highly in certain outcomes, standard education was more suited to some patient characteristics. Additionally, subgroups of society (older and low socioeconomic populations) were poorly represented in studies.Conclusions: Up-to-date research on cancer patient education is lacking. Results indicate that although CBLSs for cancer education show promise, further research is required. R ESUM E Introduction : L' education du patient est un aspect fondamental de la qualit e des soins, en permettant la responsabilisation du patient et l'am elioration des r esultats et de la qualit e de vie. La d etermination de la m ethode d' education la plus efficace est donc primordiale. Comme la soci et e moderne s'appuie fortement sur la technologie et internet, les syst emes d'apprentissage assist e par ordinateur (SAAO) ont et e mis en place pour augmenter l'efficacit e de l'information. Cette revue vise a d eterminer si les SAAO devraient remplacer les modalit es standard d' education pour les patients atteints de cancer. M ethodologie : Une revue syst ematique des etudes a jour comparant les SAAO et les modalit es standard pour les patients a et e r ealis ee. Les r esultats ont et e evalu es en termes de produits (connaissances, satisfaction, prise de d ecision) et de caract eristiques du patient (âge, sexe, statut socio economique).R esultats : Les r esultats sont ambigus. Bien que les SAAO obtiennent une note elev ee pour certains produits, les modalit es d' education standard sont mieux adapt ees a certaines caract eristiques des patients. Par ailleurs, certains sous-groupes sociaux (populations plusâg ees et de niveau socio economique plus faible) etaient sous-repr esent es dans les etudes.Conclusions : Il y a un manque de recherches a jour sur l' education des patients atteints de cancer. Les r esultats indiquent que d'autres recherches sont n ecessaires, même si les syst emes d'apprentissage assist e par ordinateur semblent prometteurs.

“…These knowledge domains have been validated in several studies in different contexts [9,10]. In oncologic context, the patients' (n=915) knowledge expectations seem to follow these domains, and the patients stressed personalized, resourcepromoting process and action knowledge, which vary during the illness trajectory due to several demographical, situational and clinical factors.…”

Patient-centeredness in patient education presupposes collaboration with the patient in the assessment of his/her knowledge expectations. In practice, there is no systematic approach to this assessment. Purpose:To describe the development process of a self-report workbook intended to assist adult cancer patients to identify and communicate their knowledge expectations during the illness trajectory. Design and methods:The workbook structure and content design was based on focus group interviews of cancer patients (n=37), in-depth individual interviews (n=16) and survey data in two countries (n=332+483). The initial version of the workbook was validated in a sample of cancer patients (n=91). Findings:The usability of the workbook was found good: patients found it relevant, logical and easy to fill in. The content validity of the workbook was shown to be good: all ten subscales were rated as rather or very clear on scale 1-4. Content validity index for subscales (S-CVI) varied from 0.40 to 1.00 and content validity index on item level (I-CVI) from 0.76 to 0.94. Internal consistency was established as good: Cronbach's alphas varied from 0.58 to 0.96. Conclusion:From the patients' perspective, the self-report workbook is a promising aid for identifying individual patients' perspectives to patient education and its outcomes during the illness trajectory.
