Project: IMPaCCt Study - Investigating the impact of COVID-19 on Caregivers and patients.
Summary: Researchers at Queen’s University Belfast and the University of Aberdeen are carrying out an online research study investigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on caregivers and patients with cancer, pre-cancerous conditions and rare diseases. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a virus [severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2)], the virus responsible for COVID-19. This survey is open to all patients and caregivers aged 18 years or older. To participate in this study is necessary to complete a short survey that should take around 20-30 minutes to complete. The rationale of the proposed study is to provide insight into how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting caregivers and patients with certain medical conditions, namely cancer, precancerous conditions and rare diseases. It is anticipated that the findings will be presented at charity events/meetings, scientific conferences; in a paper published in a peer-reviewed medical/scientific journal; and internal student reports. All initial survey responses are anonymous and it will not be possible to identify subjects from their IP (computer) address. The study was reviewed and approved by the Queen’s University of Belfast, MHLS Faculty Research Ethics Committee (MHLS 20_52). The information from the survey will be stored electronically on password-protected encrypted university computers from Queen’s University Belfast and University of Aberdeen and will only be accessible to the study team.
