Validation of a Questionnaire in the French Language for the Patient Experience in Radiotherapy
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
RTEQ (RadioTherapy Experience Questionnaire) in French: Complete the RTEQ questionnaire translated and adapted to the French language in patients receiving external radiotherapy. Depending on the number of radiotherapy sessions received, the questionnaire will be completed 1 or 2 times during the study.
EORTC PATSAT-C33 questionnaire: Complete the EORTC-PATSAT-C33 questionnaire after completing the RTEQ questionnaire. Depending on the number of radiotherapy sessions received, the questionnaire will be completed 1 or 2 times during the study.
Study summary
More than 50% of cancer patients have radiotherapy (RT) as part of their care pathway. Scientific and technological advances leads to an increase in demand. The development of hypofractionation is also increasing the capacity to treat more patients. These transformations raise questions from an organizational point of view, the quality of care and the response to patient needs.
Several publications highlight that evaluating patient's experience, satisfaction, and collecting their ideas are excellent foundations for delivering patient-centered care (3,4). To assess the patient experience in RT, Olausson et al. developed and validated a questionnaire in English. To this day , this questionnaire has not been validated in French.
The main objective is to validate the psychometric property of reliability of the Radiotherapy Experience Questionnaire (RTEQ) after its adaptation into French. This project also includes an assessment of patient satisfaction regarding their RT care pathway.
This study is part of a broader initiative aimed at redesigning the patient journey in radiotherapy, and innovating in the tools and in the overall care approach.
