Does the service at a large oncologic out‐patient clinic satisfy the patients’ perceived need?

Abstract

Describes the physical status and quality of life in ambulatory oncologic patients seen at the Norwegian Radium Hospital (NRH) and assesses their satisfaction with the out‐patient service. During a two‐week period in 1993, 517 consecutive patients completed a qualify‐of‐life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ‐C30) during their out‐patient visit at the NRH. The results of the EORTC QLQ‐C30 were compared with those from a similar study performed in 1991 (211 patients evaluated during one week).
