Background Aims & Objectives Methods Results Conclusions

Background The transfer of information between healthcare professionals and their patients is a critically important element in diagnosis, management and patient support - Velikova et al., 2002 HRQOL - essential component to best patient care Data set components - BAOMS & BAO-HNS

Background Resistance to the routine use of HRQOL questionnaires within everyday clinical practice Kanatas & Rogers (2004) UK consultant clinicians (BAOMS) 29% used HRQOL questionnaires Lack of resources and proven value Mehanna & Morton (2006) H&N clinicians (ANZHNS) 34% used a QOLQ & only13% currently using one Time-consuming / no proven benefit

Background Aims & Objectives Methods Results Conclusions

Aims of Study To assess the prevalence of use of HRQOL questionnaires by Consultants and Specialists in Restorative Dentistry undertaking Oral Rehabilitation following treatment for HNC Identify acceptance and barriers for the use of HRQOL outcome measures within the speciality

Aims of Study The Liverpool Oral Rehabilitation Questionnaire (LORQ) 40 – item questionnaire specific to patients undergoing oral rehabilitation following HNC Pace-Balzan et al., (2004), (2005) & MPhil thesis (University of Liverpool )

25% (33/132) expressed their views  “ A vital part of our understanding of patient care – outcome - Much under-rated.”  “ An excellent idea.”  “ Extremely important as a measuring tool especially when trying to commission services. “

Free Text  “Poor patients - so many questionnaires at such a difficult time.”  “ It may open up problems that we as an institution have no resources to treat.”  “Why don't we just apply previous findings and make it part of "good practice"? Why keep repeating what has been done?”

Background Aims & Objectives Methods Results Conclusions

Low rate of HRQOLQ usage (19%) Research tool Expected substantial impact on HRQOL Clinicians providing oral rehabilitation following HNC more likely to use/used HRQOLS Few thought that these were not clinically relevant or that no suitable questionnaires existed

Conclusions Barriers lack of experience & resources (time /staff) If the role of questionnaires in clinical practice is to be realized then these barriers and attitudes need to be addressed Educational methods e.g Formal teaching at UG level Computer-based methods e.g TST

Conclusions The questionnaire is not dictating or influencing whether clinicians use patient-derived outcome measures, but it is the clinical setting and a lack of training and appreciation of the concept of HRQOL. The introduction of the LORQ in the clinical setting is not making the clinical process any simpler and rather may be perceived as introducing an increased level of complexity in patient management.
