| description | Background: Evidence supporting a tablet personal computer (PC)-based mode for a systemic approach to managing the breast cancer survival is limited. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether a tablet personal computer (PC) survey is feasible for screening the risks of the recurrence of breast cancer and the survivor issues associated with breast cancer treatment. Materials and methods: A descriptive study design was used. A pilot test of the tablet PC survey for its feasibility was undertaken using 40 breast cancer survivors at a university affiliated cancer management-survivorship clinic. The tablet PC survey was evaluated by structured questionnaires designed to assess patient experiences responding to the tablet PC-based surveys and user friendliness of the device itself. Results: Older patients and those with a lower education were more likely to have difficulty with the tablet PC administration and required assistance. Both physicians and nurses reported that the tablet PC survey was a useful tool that assisted healthcare professionals with providing quality of care. Conclusion: This pilot test supported the feasibility of a tablet PC survey as a vehicle for breast cancer survivorship management. Keywords: Breast cancer, Survivorship, Tablet, Survey |
