DESCRIPTION: This R25/R44 proposal aims to develop a browser-based interactive product to educate both physicians and patients about banking sperm before cancer treatment. The product will have three components: 1) a didactic portion to update oncology physicians on the rationale to offer sperm-banking to all men of reproductive age; 2) a skills-training portion teaching physicians how to counsel patients and families about sperm banking; and 3) a direct patient education portion including both didactic and emotion-focused material for men and their family members. We intend to demonstrate, over the three phases of the project that sperm banking is currently underutilized, even in the highest quality patient care centers; that both oncology physicians and patients lack the knowledge to make fully informed decisions about sperm banking; and that our educational product can increase knowledge in patients and physicians, increase their positive attitudes towards banking sperm, and actually affect the rates of sperm banking in two large cancer centers. In the R25 Phase of the project, we will collect baseline data on physician knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding sperm banking by a postal survey of 230 oncology faculty physicians and fellows from the U.T. M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF). We plan to assess deficits in physician knowledge and practice that contribute to patients= failures to successfully bank sperm. We will also send questionnaires to 1,000 men aged 14 to 40 who were diagnosed and treated for cancer within the last two years of the tumor registries at MDACC and CCF. We will assess rates of sperm banking, barriers to sperm banking, knowledge about infertility and cancer, and anxieties and attitudes about parenthood after cancer, providing benchmark data for comparison to that gathered in our later interventions. We will also conduct 8 focus groups to gather qualitative data on familial, cultural, and spiritual issues regarding sperm banking. Information from the survey and focus groups will be used to complete a written script of the content for the interactive media product. It will be reviewed by a panel of experts for accuracy and appropriateness.

描述：此R25/R44提案旨在开发基于浏览器的交互式产品，以在癌症治疗前对医生和患者进行有关银行精子的教育。 该产品将有三个组成部分：1）一个教学部分，以更新有关理由的肿瘤学医生，以向所有生殖时代的人提供精子bank; 2）教学医生的技能培训部分如何为患者和家人提供有关精子银行的咨询； 3）直接的患者教育部分，包括男性及其家人以教学和情感为中心的材料。 我们打算在该项目的三个阶段中证明，即使在最高质量的患者护理中心，精子银行目前也未被充分利用；肿瘤医师和患者都缺乏对精子银行做出充分明智决定的知识。并且我们的教育产品可以增加患者和医生的知识，增加对银行精子的积极态度，并实际上影响两个大型癌症中心的精子银行率。 在项目的R25阶段，我们将通过对230名肿瘤学院医师和来自U.T.的研究员进行有关精子银行的医师知识，态度和实践的基线数据M.D. Anderson癌症中心（MDACC）和克利夫兰诊所基金会（CCF）。 我们计划评估有助于患者的医师知识和实践的缺陷=无法成功地将精子进行库存。 我们还将向1,000名1000名1000名男性发送问卷，这些男性在MDACC和CCF的肿瘤注册机构的最后两年内被诊断为癌症。 我们将评估精子银行的比率，精子银行的障碍，对不育症和癌症的了解以及对癌症后父母身份的焦虑和态度，提供基准数据以与我们以后的干预措施中收集的基准数据进行比较。 我们还将举办8个焦点小组，以收集有关精子银行的家庭，文化和精神问题的定性数据。 调查和焦点小组的信息将用于完成交互式媒体产品内容的书面脚本。 专家小组将审查它的准确性和适当性。
