Breast Cancer Rehabilitation Needs and Service Uptake

Sponsor: Changi General Hospital

Summary

The investigators are attempting to verify the prevalence of cancer rehabilitation needs at our institution in breast cancer patients. The investigators also want to assess 1) self-perceived needs for cancer rehabilitation services, 2) awareness, willingness, and patient health beliefs as determinants for cancer rehabilitation-seeking behaviour, and 3) the modifiable patient factors driving the mismatch between needs and uptake in our population. Patients attending outpatient clinics in our hospital will be approached to answer a questionnaire designed to find out this information. The investigators hope that the results will ultimately inform the design of better triage and referral systems that match patients to services based on their rehabilitation needs. The investigators believe that local survivors of breast cancer have unmet rehabilitation needs and that it is possible to evaluate their readiness to seek access to rehabilitation services as well as identify mismatches between provided and desired services through the administration of a cancer rehabilitation questionnaire (CRQ).
