Background: Many bowel cancer patients experience a lack of support for their needs in navigating their cancer. Cancer patients report better outcome if they are provided with adequate information and better communication.1 This project aims to evaluate the information needs of our patients across their cancer journey and preferred digital mode of delivery with the final goal to develop, “BowelCare Connect (BCC)”, a platform utilising digital technology which has been shown to be beneficial in other studies for cancer patients by tailoring to their complex needs.2-4 Method: Colorectal cancer patients were recruited via clinic within the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network for qualitative interviews. Interviews were undertaken in a place convenient to participants, lasting approximately 20 minutes, were recorded and subsequently converted into transcripts. Qualitative analysis was performed by focusing on the themes and sub-themes crucial for our participants. Results: Seven interviews were conducted, with six over the phone and one face-to-face.. The main themes are “Information" and "Digital literacy," with corresponding subthemes "information saturation, avoidance, seeking help" and "reliability, security." Under "Information," patients found that they were overwhelmed by the amount of information provided and preferred to source the information that they require when needed. Under "Digital literacy," all patients have used internet resources to access colorectal cancer information at some stage but there remains some hesitancy and they require more assistance. Security and reliability of the information are another important aspect highlighted during the interviews, which require further evaluation in future recruitment. Conclusion: Preliminary data shows that information needs of cancer patients vary across their journey. Further recruitment and analysis are required to evaluate patients’ needs and the preferred digital mode of delivery for colorectal cancer.
