This post is to let you all know about a University of Surrey research study survey. The MIRRORS study is looking at whether Robotic keyhole surgery can improve quality of life, recovery and equivalent progression free and overall survival for women undergoing interval debulking surgery for advanced ovarian cancer.
To support their work, they have created a survey to gather people's views on the use of robotic surgery for advanced ovarian cancer, and are keen to understand people’s thoughts on this.
The survey should only take about 5-minutes to complete. The white space questions are not compulsory.
Re mirrors survey. I tried to contact the survey team when I had half completed the survey because the survey design did not allow an option for those answering to be midway in first chemo /operation and assumed you had finished treatment. The survey design would not allow me to contact them. Kindly let them know. Thanks.
I'm sorry to hear you had difficulty completing the survey. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have informed the research lead of this issue and will keep you updated of any developments.
I wanted to let you know that I have now heard back from the research lead for the MIRRORS study about this issue. They have asked me to please tell you how grateful they were for your feedback and for taking the time to point this out to them.
If you are still happy to complete the survey, they have suggested for you to please select the option that most closely applies to where you are presently with treatment. For example, if you have not had surgery yet but have had chemotherapy, you could select chemotherapy only as the survey adjusts the answers to the remaining questions to be relevant and personalised.
I hope this is helpful for you. Christina Uwins is the Senior Clinical Research Fellow for this project. Her email is included at the beginning of the survey (c.uwins@surrey.ac.uk) and she would be happy to help if you have any further queries.
