Summary

This study aims to investigate the treatment preferences of patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETS) and nurses who are involved in the care of individuals with NETs. NETs are a type of abnormal growth that can develop in various parts of the body, such as the lungs, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, or other organs.

NETs originate from specialized cells called neuroendocrine cells, which are responsible for producing hormones in our bodies.

The study focuses on hypothetical preferences regarding the use of two different type of devices for administering Somatostatin analogues (SSAs), which could be used in the treatment of NETs.

SSAs work by imitating the actions of a hormone called somatostatin that naturally exists in our bodies. These treatment help to control the symptoms of NETs by blocking the release of hormones from the tumor cells.

The devices under consideration are a motorized injector versus a manual injector.

Participants in the study will be asked to take part in:

1. An interview based on a draft survey: 60-minute interview over videocall, to examine participants understanding of the online survey; or
2. Final online survey: 30-minute online survey. This involves presenting patients and nurses with different treatment options and asking them to choose their preferred option.

By analysing the choices made by participants, researchers can understand which attributes of the injector devices are most important to patients and nurses.

Individual participation is limited to the interview based on a draft survey (60 minutes) or the final online survey (30 minutes).

No further participation is required beyond this.
