Distribution of care information packages for the support of patients with cancer and their families during disaster situations and their evaluation via the internet.
With the aim of preparing for disasters, care information packages for the support of patients with cancer and their families during disaster situations were developed in our previous study, and were provided via the internet with a questionnaire asking the face validity and the usefulness of such information. Thirty replies were received. Most subjects thought the care packages were appropriate and useful in the actual settings, however 43.3% of them thought the amount of information was excessive. Many comments and suggestions on the care information packages also could be obtained via the internet.
