The impact of combining human and online supportive resources for prostate cancer patients
Hawkins RP , Pingree S , Van Bogaert D , McDowell H , Jarrard D , Carmack C , Salner A . J Community Support Oncol 2017 15 (6) e321-e329 Background: Prostate cancer patients' needs for information and support have been previously addressed by both mentoring and interactive services. Objective: To determine whether combining computer-based support with a human cancer mentor would benefit prostate cancer patients more than either intervention alone. Methods: Newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients from 3 centers were randomly assigned to receive either: a web-based system of information and support; or telephone and e-mail support from a trained cancer information mentor; or both interventions. Results: The combined condition improved several quality-of-life outcomes more than the individual interventions alone, but these results were few and scattered. Limitations: Offering Internet (computer) access to all potential subjects may have made some computer nonusers less likely to participate, biasing the sample toward relatively advantaged men. Conclusions: Combining human and computer-based interventions did not produce the expected much stronger benefits to patients. Given the costs involved, the computer-based system alone is likely preferable. Funding/sponsorship Grant R01CA114539 from the National Cancer Institute. |
Translation research in occupational safety and health: A proposed framework
Schulte PA , Cunningham TR , Nickels L , Felknor S , Guerin R , Blosser F , Chang CC , Check P , Eggerth D , Flynn M , Forrester C , Hard D , Hudson H , Lincoln J , McKernan LT , Pratap P , Stephenson CM , Van Bogaert D , Menger-Ogle L . Am J Ind Med 2017 60 (12) 1011-1022 Translation research in occupational safety and health is the application of scientific investigative approaches to study how the outputs of basic and applied research can be effectively translated into practice and have an impact. This includes the study of the ways in which useful knowledge and interventions are disseminated, adopted, implemented, and institutionalized. In this paper, a 4-stage framework (Development, Testing, Institutionalization, and Evaluation) is presented. Translation research can be used to enhance the use and impact of occupational safety and health knowledge and interventions to protect workers. This type of research has not received much attention in the occupational safety and health field. However, in contemporary society, it is critical to know how to make an impact with the findings and outputs of basic and applied research. This paper provides a novel framework for consideration of how to advance and prioritize translation research for occupational safety and health. |
The development of an eHealth tool suite for prostate cancer patients and their partners
Van Bogaert D , Hawkins R , Pingree S , Jarrard D . J Support Oncol 2012 10 (5) 202-8 BACKGROUND: eHealth resources for people facing health crises must balance the expert knowledge and perspective of developers and clinicians against the very different needs and perspectives of prospective users. This formative study explores the information and support needs of posttreatment prostate cancer patients and their partners as a way to improve an existing eHealth information and support system called CHESS (Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System). METHODS: Focus groups with patient survivors and their partners were used to identify information gaps and information-seeking milestones. RESULTS: Both patients and partners expressed a need for assistance in decision making, connecting with experienced patients, and making sexual adjustments. Female partners of patients are more active in searching for cancer information. All partners have information and support needs distinct from those of the patient. CONCLUSIONS: Findings were used to develop a series of interactive tools and navigational features for the CHESS prostate cancer computer-mediated system. |
