Abstract
To create an evidence-based patient education resource to better support cancer patients with bone metastases in carrying out safe movements during activities of daily living, to maintain their bone health and reduce the risk of fractures. A quality improvement project was conducted in three phases: Development of the Resource, Preliminary Feedback and Revision, and French Canadian Translation. The educational resource Living Safely with Bone Metastases focuses on safe movement, activities of daily living, and exercise, organized within the sections Move with care, Stay safe in different environments and Follow an exercise program prescribed by a physiotherapist. Translation yielded a Canadian French version Vivre en toute sécurité avec des métastases osseuses. Living Safely with Bone Metastases is an accessible online and paper resource for patients and healthcare professionals, in order to promote ongoing disease management of individuals with bone metastases. Cancer patients with bone metastases are at high risk of pathological fractures however resources on fracture prevention are lacking. Living Safely with Bone Metastases is an innovative health education resource that fills an important gap in oncology practice and has the potential to reduce the occurrence of fractures.
