Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Enrolled MPN patients will participate in a podcast intervention via a smartphone app. They will listen to 60 minutes per week of podcasts through this app, which consist of cancer-related health education material. Participants have the option to listen to additional podcasts beyond the 60-minute weekly prescription if they desire. Participation will be tracked through self-report logs. In addition, questionnaires will be administered at baseline, midpoint (week 6), and post-intervention (week 12), which ask about demographics, health information, and satisfaction. The hypothesis is that the smartphone app is feasible for delivering home-based health education podcasts to MPN patients.

[]Primary outcomes (3)
- measure
- Acceptability of Podcast App: satisfaction survey
- timeFrame
- Change from baseline to mid-point (week 6) and post-intervention (week 12)
- description
- Acceptability will be measured with a satisfaction survey. Benchmarks for acceptability include greater than or equal to 70% response to the following questions in the survey: 1) satisfaction with the app's content, 2) intending to continue using the app, 3) enjoying using the apps, and 4) recommending it to other MPN patients. The % of participants indicating responses to the four prior questions will be considered "acceptable" if all four questions are responded to with a greater than or equal to 70% response rate.
- measure
- Demand of Podcast App
- timeFrame
- Change from baseline to mid-point (week 6) and post-intervention (week 12)
- description
- Demand will be measured using adherence to the podcast prescription. Podcast viewing will be tracked by the smartphone app developers and reported to the Principal Investigator. Adherence benchmarks are defined as an average of greater than or equal to 49 minutes per week of podcast viewing across all participants (i.e., greater than or equal to 70% of prescribed podcasts).
