Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if multi-language patients will find the multi-language capabilities of the online modules useful for better understanding of the general information regarding radiation therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Research shows that treatment-related information is the most important informational need of cancer patients and online media sources are gaining popularity as a cancer communication method. It is important to know whether having multi-language online education modules are usable for and beneficial to the multicultural cancer patient population at Sunnybrook Hospital, given that recent research suggests that this cancer population in general faces many barriers to effective online cancer communication. Approximately 10 new patients from the radiation oncology clinic at Sunnybrook Hospital will be screened to participate in the study. Usability testing will involve a combination of interviewing, observation, think-aloud methodology and a short survey.Results will be analyzed by assessing the percentage of patients identifying with a certain level of the Likert scale on the survey as well as through content analysis of responses to the interview and open-ended survey questions.

Multi-language Online Patient Education Module in addition to standard Patient Teaching

Patients are usually be given a 5-10 minute "new patient teaching" before their radiation therapy simulation and planning appointment and before their first radiation therapy treatment appointment. Patients will be asked to view an online patient education module before their radiation therapy simulation and planning appointment or before their first radiation therapy treatment appointment. Then patients will be asked to participate in an interview session and fill out a survey (attached). They will still receive "new patient teaching" from the therapists before their radiation therapy simulation and planning or radiation therapy treatment appointment.
