To anyone who has had chemotherapy:
We are an organization trying to assess issues that are important to
patients. Our goal is to strengthen and support patients in communicating
with healthcare professionals.
We are thus developing a tool geared towards aiding patients in their search
for the best possible medical treatment. This tool will comprise many common
conditions, situations and symptoms – chemotherapy being one of them.
We are collecting this information in order to make a statistic analysis in
respect to which needs are important to patients. We plan to publish the
results on a website, the access to which will be free of charge to the
internet-user.
We have collected needs that people being treated with chemotherapy have
expressed, and developed a questionnaire based on those needs. It is vital
to
us to find out to what extent these needs apply, and how important they are
to chemotherapy patients. That is why we are asking you – the ‘experts’ on
chemotherapy – to visit http://www.patient.at/chemotherapy.htm, to fill out
the
questionnaire and give us your comments.
We will publish the results of this survey as soon as possible, and then
once
again ask you for your comments.
