Summary

This investigation is designed to be a two-arm, non-randomized prospective phase 2 study evaluating the impact of medical physicist patient intervention on the anxiety level and patient satisfaction of patients undergoing a course of radiation therapy. The goal is to demonstrate that these interventions will have a significantly positive impact on the overall well-being of the oncology patients.

Conditions

• Anxiety
• Patient Satisfaction
• Radiation Therapy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Planned Intervention	Intervention with a member of the medical physics team to review the process of simulation, treatment planning, and subsequent treatment. This meeting will last approximately 15 minutes and at this time, the team member will explain that they are the primary resource for all the technical aspects related to the patient's treatment. Additionally, they will identify and address any concerns that patients or their caregivers have with radiation treatment and the patient will be shown the simulation infographic.
BEHAVIORAL	No planned intervention	Anxiety and patient satisfaction questionnaires will be completed prior to CT simulation.
