Routine screening for cancer-related malnutrition is a key recommendation of the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia cancer-related malnutrition and sarcopenia position statement. Recent local audits of our service demonstrated lower than expected nurse-led malnutrition screening in the oncology day unit and no routine screening amongst those receiving oral therapies. This quality improvement activity gathered preferences for malnutrition screening from adults receiving cancer treatments in a chemotherapy day unit at a regional hospital. Twenty-eight patients volunteered to provide feedback on their ability to complete two validated malnutrition screening tools – the Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) and the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment Short Form (PG-SGA SF). These screening tools were developed to be completed by patients and health professionals. Forty-four percent of respondents preferred the PG-SGA SF, 40% preferred the MST, with the remainder having no preference. Respondents reported that both tools were easy to use, understood the questions, and were generally able to complete the screening tools independently. Most respondents reported they could complete the screening tools in under 5 minutes (93% for the MST; 80% for the PG-SGA SF) with many reporting the ability to complete the tool in under 3 minutes. Most respondents stated they would prefer to answer the screening questions on their own. Respondents preferred to complete the screening on paper, however, this may have been biased as participants were only provided with paper tools to complete. Feedback generated from this quality activity will be used to inform future changes to improve malnutrition screening in our centre and may provide an avenue to implement malnutrition screening amongst those receiving oral therapies. Patients told us that they are willing and able to screen themselves for malnutrition. It is up to us to be inspired to innovate processes to improve cancer-related malnutrition care in the future.
