Sharing decisions in breast cancer care
BACKGROUND: Shared Decision Making (SDM) is widely accepted as the preferred method for reaching treatment decisions in the oncology setting including those about clinical trial participation: however, there is some disagreement between researchers over the components of SDM. Specific standardized coding systems are needed to help overcome this difficulty. OBJECTIVE: The first objective was to describe the development of an oncology specific SDM …
Shared decision making in oncology
Introduction Shared decision making (SDM) is now considered a desirable goal in health care, yet little is known about current practice in cancer care, and its impact on patient outcomes. This study aimed to develop an oncology‐specific coding system for SDM, explore variations in SDM according to patient and disease characteristics, determine the relationship between SDM and patient satisfaction with the consultation, and explore the impact of S…
Development and evaluation of a decision aid for patients considering first‐line chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer
Objective Treatment decisions in advanced breast cancer are complex, with enhanced quality of life and survival among important treatment goals. Patients with metastatic breast cancer face the decision of whether or not to have chemotherapy, and many wish to be involved in this decision. We report the development and evaluation of a decision aid (DA) designed to assist patients facing this treatment decision. Design and sample Women with metastat…
Education and role modelling for clinical decisions with female cancer patients
Background Patients vary widely in their preferences and capacity for participating in treatment decision‐making. There are few interventions targeting patient understanding of how doctors make decisions and shared decision‐making. This randomized trial investigates the effects of providing cancer patients with a package designed to facilitate shared decision‐making prior to seeing their oncologist. Patients and methods Sixty‐five female cancer p…
Seeking informed consent to cancer clinical trials
Developing ethical strategies to assist oncologists in seeking informed consent to cancer clinical trials
Responding to the active and passive patient
Background Patients vary widely in their preferences and capacity for participation in medical decision‐making. This study aimed to document oncologist responses to more extreme presentations and identify helpful and unhelpful strategies for clinicians. Patients and methods A trained actor played the role of a patient with early stage breast cancer who was attending her first consultation with a medical oncologist. She adopted in random order two…
Women’s preferences for discussion of prognosis in early breast cancer
Objectives To determine preference for prognostic information in women with early breast cancer. Design Cross sectional survey. Participants 100 women with early stage breast cancer attending six teaching hospitals in Sydney, Australia. Main outcome measures Women’s preference for prognostic information. Results This study identifies new elements to consider in the prognostic consultation. Whilst 91% of women wanted to know their prognosis prior …
Sharing decisions in cancer care
Attitudes to randomized clinical trials amongst out‐patients attending a medical oncology clinic
Objective To assess the understanding of and attitudes towards randomized clinical trials amongst patients attending oncology out‐patient clinics. Design Cross‐sectional survey. Subjects Patients attending medical oncology out‐patient clinics at a Sydney teaching hospital. Main outcome Patients' willingness to participate in a randomized clinical trial. Results Sixty consecutive patients were surveyed. The mean age was 55.2 (SD 14) years. Eighty‐…
