AIMS
To translate and culturally adapt the Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) and other resources into the top 10 preferred languages other than English for patients and establish feasibility and clinical utility of these translated resources.
SUMMARY
This project has translated the MST and the associated fact sheet 'Preventing weight loss - Why is it important for people with cancer' into Victoria’s top 10 preferred languages other than English. These resources are available in an electronic format with links to audio files and also in a printable PDF format. These tools will add to the availability of resources that are culturally appropriate, comprehended by oncology patients from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and able to be used effectively in clinical practice.
Please refer to the Malnutrition Screening Tool.
