Summary

Brief Summary The goal of this study is to understand how patient empowerment and a Question Prompt List (QPL) can help cancer patients.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

What are the views of nurses, physicians, and cancer patients on patient empowerment? Does using a Question Prompt List (QPL) improve patient empowerment and reduce anxiety? Researchers will collect qualitative and quantitative data by measuring patient empowerment and anxiety levels.

Who can participate? Cancer patients receiving treatment at Private Anadolu Medical Center Hospital Nurses and physicians working with cancer patients What will participants do? Answer survey questions about their experiences with empowerment, anxiety, and communication Participate in interviews to share their thoughts on patient empowerment Use a Question Prompt List (QPL) during medical consultations Why is this study important? Many cancer patients struggle with anxiety and lack of information about their care.

A Question Prompt List (QPL) may help patients ask better questions, feel more in control of their treatment, and reduce anxiety.

This study will contribute to oncology research and help develop a culture-specific QPL for use in cancer care.

This study will take place at Private Anadolu Medical Center Hospital from January 2023 to November 2024.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

QPL-based Communication Intervention

This QPL-based communication intervention stands out with the following key features: Patient-Centered \& Cancer-Specific QPL: The intervention uses a QPL tailored for cancer patients, culturally adapted to enhance empowerment and manage anxiety. Structured Training \& Support: Patients receive training before consultations, with additional guidance for effective QPL use at subsequent visits. Multiple Assessment Points: The QPL's impact is measured after the first, second, and third consultations, allowing for longitudinal evaluation. RCT Design: This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT), comparing the intervention group (QPL) to a control group receiving standard care. Focus on Empowerment \& Anxiety: Unlike prior studies, this intervention focuses on empowering patients and reducing anxiety, with outcomes measured through validated scales (Patient Empowerment Scale and HADS). These features differentiate this intervention by offering a structured, culturally relevant approach.
