UNASSIGNED: Prioritizing @entity1 ' information needs maximizes efficiency. This study examined the information sources and priorities in a sample of older adults newly diagnosed with symptomatic @entity1582 requiring immediate therapy. An association analysis of whether information needs were influenced by sociodemographic variables such as age, gender, education, marital status, and income was also conducted. The Information Needs Questionnaire (INQ) and an investigator-developed interview schedule were administered to 20 older adults diagnosed with symptomatic @entity1582 during a 30- to 45-minute semistructured interview. We found that older adults newly diagnosed with symptomatic @entity1582 have different priorities of information needs when compared with younger @entity1 diagnosed with various types of @entity5 . The top three priorities related to treatment, prognosis, and self-care. Sociodemographic variables did not influence the priorities of information needs among older adults with symptomatic @entity1582 . The Internet, physicians, family, and friends were among the top sources of information. Advanced practitioners in oncology should support and identify interventions that can enhance @entity1 ' learning process from these sources. Well poised to assist @entity1 in searching credible and reliable Internet sources, advanced practitioners in oncology can provide @entity1 education about different treatments and the impact of such treatments on prognosis (e.g., overall survival and likelihood of cure).
