Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Objective: The aim of this study was to develop electronic systems (e-systems) for oncofertility support, and to examine the comprehensibility, feasibility, usability, and effects on social support and preparation for decision-making.
Methods: The study steps were guided, tested, and utilized to (a) identify the requirements of a patient, (b) guide the development of support interventions, and (c) evaluate the quality of web-based oncofertility support. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected to explore supportive requirements related to oncofertility care, and an initial website concerning oncofertility was developed based on the resulting requirements and system review regarding social support. Alpha testing and beta testing were used to ensure the quality of the web-based oncofertility support tool. The effectiveness was evaluated using the Preparation for Decision-Making Scale and Social Support Questionnaire.

Web-based oncofertility support tool
User-centered design practices were used to develop an oncofertility support website for women with breast cancer before treatment. The steps of the Ottawa Decision Support Framework were used throughout the development process. A multidisciplinary steering group was assembled, and the input was provided. Guidelines from the International Patient Decision Aid Standards were applied to test the quality of the oncofertility support website.
Three steps included:
1. Identify the supportive needs of a patient;
2. Guide the development of support interventions;
3. Evaluate the quality of web-based oncofertility support.
Web-based oncofertility support tool
The website structure was developed to satisfy the needs of reproductive-age women was investigated based on four domains of social support, as developed by Cohen and Syme (1985). The important needs of patients can be classified as emotional, informational, appraisal, and instrumental support.
