| dc.description.abstract | the goal was to assess the perceived ability of healthcare professionals to discuss adolescent and
young adult oncology (ayao) specific issues, and the use of a documentary film as awareness
and teaching tool. healthcare professionals and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
(n = 81) were recruited during training
sessions at three canadian cancer centres and invited to complete a brief questionnaire before
and after viewing a documentary film depicting an outdoor expedition for aya cancer patients.
demographics, work experience, and self-perceived ayao knowledge was assessed pre-film.
understanding of ayao needs, emotions, and life issues was queried using a 5-pt ordinal scale
and using open-ended questions both pre- and post-film. post-film, respondents were asked to
reflect on whether they had learned anything new (yes/no). medical staff and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
reported a
statistically significant increase in understanding of ayao emotions, needs, and life issues from
pre- to post-film, with 96% of the sample reporting they learned something new from viewing
the film. qualitative data support an increased post-film recognition of isolation as a key emotion
and decreased emphasis on the treatment-related concerns as key life issues. notably, the need
for support was well recognized both pre- and post-film. this research provides preliminary
support for the use of film as a teaching tool. further research is warranted to explore short and
long-term benefits from the patient and professional standpoint. | en_us |
