Article Synopsis
- The Radiation Reveal project brought together ten young adults aged 17-25 who had experience with radiotherapy and researchers to talk about their experiences over three online workshops.
- * The project aimed to help these young adults share what they wish they had known about radiotherapy, and they ended up building friendships, support groups, and creating helpful tips for medical professionals.
- * A key part of the project’s success was having someone passionate in charge and making sure to get feedback from charities and young adults throughout the process.
Objective: Over the four years to 30 June, 2017 the McGrath Foundation's Second Federal Government Breast Care Nurse (BCN) Initiative funded 57 McGrath BCNs (MBCNs) to deliver better continuity of care and provide specialized support to those diagnosed with and undergoing treatment for breast cancer. This article summarizes the findings generated through a mixed-method evaluation of the program's appropriateness, effectiveness, and efficiency.
Methods: The evaluation comprised surveys and semi-structured interviews with patients, multidisciplinary clinicians and MBCNs.
