摘要

Purpose: Fertility preservation discussions with pediatric and adolescent cancer patients can be difficult for clinicians. This study describes the acceptability of a fertility clinician decision support system (CDSS).
Methods: A cross-sectional study of clinicians at The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne. Participants were trained on CDSS purpose, contents, and use. A survey captured the perceived benefits and weaknesses of the CDSS.
Results: Thirty-nine clinicians participated. Over 90% felt the CDSS aims and format were clear, and understood the components. Over 80% felt it would enable adherence to clinical pathways, policy, and standards of care.
Conclusions: The CDSS provided significant perceived benefits to oncofertility care.
