This observational study aims to validate a psychometric tool designed to assess health literacy specifically in cancer patients. Conducted at a single center, the study involves administering a questionnaire to participants who are receiving care for cancer at the Hôpital privé des Peupliers. The focus is on understanding how well patients comprehend health-related information, which is crucial for effective treatment and care management.

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who are currently receiving treatment for cancer at the participating hospital.

Not a fit: Patients who oppose the use of their medical data or are under legal protection may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance patient understanding of health information, leading to better treatment outcomes in cancer care.

How similar studies have performed: While the specific psychometric tool may be novel, similar studies assessing health literacy in cancer patients have shown promising results.
