Recalling what we thought we knew about recall periods
Including a 7-day recall period improves recall consistency for patients when answering physical function PROM items, but there is still room for improvement. The inaccuracy of recall for PROMs in clinical trials influences the ability to calculate the change in treatment outcomes over time and may conceal or emphasize actual treatment effects
What facets of physical function are most important to adults diagnosed with cancer
How do patients interpret and respond to a novel patient-reported eastern cooperative oncology group performance status (Ecog)
Benefits of Early Palliative Care to Informal Family Caregivers (DRAFT)
This chapter summarizes the Dionne-Odom et al. randomized controlled trial evaluating the benefits of an early, nurse-led palliative care intervention to caregivers of patients with advanced cancer. The study examined the impact of early (at diagnosis) versus delayed (12 weeks later) intervention on caregiver quality of life, depressed mood, and burden. The study showed that early intervention caregivers had lower depression scores at three month…
Assessing Psychological Toxicity and Patient-Reported Distress as the Sixth Vital Sign in Cancer Care and Clinical Trials
As the number of available cancer therapies continues to grow, there is increasing interest in their impact on cancer patients' lived experiences. Screening for distress is one way to measure psychological dimensions of cancer patients' experiences, and doing so is increasingly part of standard operations at major cancer centers across the US. To date, however, most clinical trials have not adequately captured patients' experiences as part of the…
Communication Skills Training in the Twenty-First Century
Patient-centered communication skills should be taught, practiced in simulation, and evaluated, just as technical skills are
Defining Quality, Disseminating Evidence, and Enforcing Guidelines for Cancer Treatment
One strategy to promote adherence is the use of “care pathways,” effectively roadmaps that seek to standardize cancer treatment on the basis of some agreed-upon set of guidelines within a particular center or group of patients
The Message Isn't as Mean as We May Think
As medical knowledge grows in scope and complexity, so does the challenge of applying it to individual patients. This is perhaps the single most difficult task for twenty-first-century clinicians, and yet it remains among the most important to patient outcomes
Early Evidence of Unprofessional Behavior Found in Medical Student Records
A review of research that found that physicians disciplined by state medical boards were as much as three times more likely than controls to have had a record of unprofessional behavior in medical school. Virtual Mentor is a monthly bioethics journal published by the American Medical Association
Compassionate Care at the End of Life
The theme editor introduces a theme issue focusing on passionate care at the end of life. Virtual Mentor is a monthly bioethics journal published by the American Medical Association
CPR
A historical perspective on the overuse and misuse of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Virtual Mentor is a monthly bioethics journal published by the American Medical Association
Writing ourselves into being
This paper, the second of two parts, reports the claims of a participatory qualitative research project that explores the inner self‐awareness and self‐presentation of adolescent girls based on excerpts from their own adolescent writings. The participants selected material from their own diaries and poetry written between 1969 and 1999 (ages 11–17) that spoke to their adolescent spiritual concerns. The research team addressed questions of audienc…
