Listening to the Voices of Women with Ovarian Cancer in SA
Help shape the future of ovarian cancer care – share your story
The Letitia Linke Research Foundation (LLRF) is proud to be part of an important new research initiative focused on improving the experience and outcomes of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer in South Australia.
LLRF Board Members Madelyn Duckmanton and Ruth Cece are serving as consumer representatives on a project team led by Jaclyn Davey – a Clinical Research Nurse, Midwife, and Master of Clinical Health Research student at Flinders University. The research project, “The needs and perspectives of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer in South Australia: An appreciative inquiry,” seeks to better understand what matters most to women during their cancer journey – and how clinical practice can better support them both, this information will be used here and shared around the world.
This project is a rare opportunity to bring the lived experiences of women to the forefront of healthcare planning and research. By capturing real stories, challenges, and insights, this research hopes to guide more compassionate, patient-centred care for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
We need your voice
Are you a woman who:
Is over 18 years of age?
Has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer within the past 3 years?
Received some or all of your care in South Australia?
If so, we invite you to take part in this vital study. Your experience could help inform better care for future patients. We want to get an understanding of what your needs are and how the healthcare system can support you.
Participation involves a one-on-one interview, which can be done in person, over the phone, or via video call – whatever is most convenient for you. Interviews will take approximately 30–60 minutes of your time.
