For WP1, the main study endpoint will be the delivery of a ready to implement online value clarification tool. For WP2 this will be decisional conflict measured by the Dutch version of the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS).
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Patients for whom standard anti-cancer treatment is no longer available may be offered participation in early phase clinical trials. In the preceding consent procedure, both technical information and values and preferences of patients need to be discussed. Given the complexity of these trials, focus on the information may prevail without a clear patient-physician discussion on patient values, actual prognosis and palliative care options. Decisional conflict has been reported in patients after deciding on participation. This project aims to develop and evaluate an online tool to clarify patients’ values around end-of-life decisions and support them in the decision to participate (or not) in a clinical trial.
Doel van het onderzoek
We hypothesize that clarifying the values of patients with incurable cancer without regular treatment options will empower patients and will create more effective patient-physician communication which helps to better attune communication to the individual patient needs. We hypothesize that an online value clarification tool aids in better value clarification and thus helps patients in this decision making process, which will be evaluated by assessing patients’ decisional conflict.
