No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to help test an idea designed to foster more supportive talk between providers (doctors or nurse practitioners), patients, and caregivers during an outpatient oncology appointment. A caregiver is the person the patient identifies is primarily involved in their healthcare. This study is collecting your reaction to this idea in order to understand needed changes before we introduce the idea to a larger group of patients.

BEHAVIORAL

Intervention group triads

The intervention consists of a rapid (less than 10-minute) communication intention elicitation exercise (via Freelisting), which is conducted independently with the patient, caregiver, and provider immediately prior to the outpatient oncology encounter. Patients, caregivers, and providers will not be instructed to endorse the Freelist responses that were generated by the intervention prior to the outpatient encounter-leaving the decision to discuss elicited communication intentions during the encounter up to individuals as the conversation naturally occurs. As with the control group, post-encounter survey data will also be collected independently from the patient, caregiver, and the provider, followed by a post-encounter qualitative interview conducted jointly with the patient and caregiver.
