Assessing the Impact of Visualizations of Quantitative and Qualitative Risk Information on the Comprehension of Hypothetical Risk-Based Breast Cancer Screening Results
This study aimed to assess whether, in the context of communicating risk-based breast cancer screening results, visualizations of risk information consisting of an icon array depicting quantified breast cancer risk and simplified drawings for “qualitative” risk information (e.g. risk factors, screening frequency) offer added value compared to a textual format presenting numerical information. An online experiment was conducted with a 3 (informati…
‘So Let's Go On Like This?’—Shared Decision‐Making and the Use of Outcome Information in Routine Care Management for People With Multiple Sclerosis
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to investigate how shared decision-making (SDM) and the use of different types of outcome information are applied in routine care management for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) in an academic outpatient clinic. METHODS: This qualitative study used the following: (a) observations of clinical encounters (N = 23) between patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs), (b) interviews with those patients (N = 17) and (…
Testing the effects on information use by older versus younger women of modality and narration style in a hospital report card
BACKGROUND: Hospital report cards (HRCs) are usually presented in a textual and factual format, likely hampering information processing. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the effects of audiovisual and narrative information in HRCs on user responses, and to test differences between older and younger women. DESIGN: A 2 (modality [textual vs. audiovisual]) × 3 (narration style [factual vs. process narrative vs. experience narrative]) onlin…
Cocreation with Dutch patients of decision‐relevant information to support shared decision‐making about adjuvant treatment in breast cancer care
BACKGROUND: To support patients in shared decision-making about treatment options, patient decision aids (PtDAs) usually provide benefit/harm information and value clarification methods (VCMs). Recently, personalized risk information from prediction models is also being integrated into PtDAs. This study aimed to design decision-relevant information (i.e., personalized survival rates, harm information and VCMs) about adjuvant breast cancer treatme…
Office workers' perspectives on physical activity and sedentary behaviour
The great value that office workers attach to health is reflected in their motivations and attitudes regarding physical activity. Increasing office workers' knowledge of the health risks of prolonged sitting may therefore increase their motivation to sit less. Although 'health' is considered important, other values, including social and work-related values, are sometimes prioritized. We conclude that interventions that aim to reduce sedentary beh…
Women’s Participation in Decision-Making in Maternity Care
Shared decision-making requires adequate functional health literacy (HL) skills from clients to understand information, as well as interactive and critical HL skills to obtain, appraise and apply information about available options. This study aimed to explore women's HL skills and needs for support regarding shared decision-making in maternity care. In-depth interviews were held among women in Dutch maternity care who scored low ( n = 10) and hi…
Mismatch between self-perceived and calculated cardiometabolic disease risk among participants in a prevention program for cardiometabolic disease
Dutch trial Register number NTR4277, registered 26th Nov 2013
Using PROMs during routine medical consultations
BACKGROUND: The use of patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs), such as quality of life or symptoms like pain or fatigue, is increasingly embraced within patient-centred care and shared decision making. OBJECTIVES: To investigate: (a) how patients and health professionals think about using PROMs during routine medical consultations; (b) for which purpose(s), patients and health professionals want to use PROMs during those consultations; and (c…
How lay people understand and make sense of personalized disease risk information
BACKGROUND: Disease risk calculators are increasingly web-based, but previous studies have shown that risk information often poses problems for lay users. OBJECTIVE: To examine how lay people understand the result derived from an online cardiometabolic risk calculator. DESIGN: A qualitative study was performed, using the risk calculator in the Dutch National Prevention Program for cardiometabolic diseases. The study consisted of three parts: (i) …
Consumers’ interpretation and use of comparative information on the quality of health care
Background Public reports about health‐care quality have not been effectively used by consumers thus far. A possible explanation is inadequate presentation of the information. Objective To assess which presentation features contribute to consumers’ correct interpretation and effective use of comparative health‐care quality information and to examine the influence of consumer characteristics. Design Fictitious Consumer Quality Index (CQI) data on …
How do healthcare consumers process and evaluate comparative healthcare information? A qualitative study using cognitive interviews
Several barriers to an effective use of comparative healthcare information were identified, such as too much information and the ambiguity of terms presented on websites. Particularly important for future research is the question of how comparative healthcare information can be integrated with alternative information, such as patient reviews on the Internet. Furthermore, the readability of quality of care concepts is an issue that needs further a…
Using Multilevel Modeling to Assess Case-Mix Adjusters in Consumer Experience Surveys in Health Care
BACKGROUND: Ratings on the quality of healthcare from the consumer's perspective need to be adjusted for consumer characteristics to ensure fair and accurate comparisons between healthcare providers or health plans. Although multilevel analysis is already considered an appropriate method for analyzing healthcare performance data, it has rarely been used to assess case-mix adjustment of such data. The purpose of this article is to investigate whet…
