Objective

To better understand decision role preferences in women diagnosed with breast cancer at a young age for return of results of genome sequencing in research and clinical settings.

Methods

Participants were surveyed about communication and decision-making preferences related to genome sequencing results and factors that may affect these preferences. The primary outcome was decision role preference (Control Preference Scale) for selecting what results to receive within medical care or within a research study.

Results

For results returned as part of medical care, most patients preferred a collaborative (N?=?481, 45%) or active (N?=?488, 45%) role with only 107 (10%) choosing a passive role. When making the decision as part of a research study, most patients preferred an active role (N?=?617, 57%), 350 (33%) choosing a collaborative role, and110 (10%) choosing a passive role.

Conclusion

Most women in this study preferred to share in decision making. Participants had somewhat different role preferences for clinical and research contexts, with greater preference for active roles in the research context.

Practice Implications

We advocate for practice guidelines that incorporate discussion of decision role as an integral part of patient centered care and shared decision-making and recognize that more work is needed to inform guidelines.  相似文献

Objective

To consider whether and how family members and clinicians discuss end of life during paediatric palliative care consultations.

Methods

Nine naturally occurring paediatric palliative care consultations were video recorded and analysed using conversation analytic methods.

Analysis

Focusing on three consultations in which end of life was treated as a certain outcome, analysis explored ways in which end of life was made either implicit or explicit within these consultations. Our analysis suggests that end of life was made explicit when: 1) ancillary to the current focus of discussion, 2) in relation to someone else’s child, or 3) specifically relevant to the local context of the discussion. More commonly, in all other instances in the data, end of life was made implicit during discussions relating to this matter.

Conclusion

This preliminary research indicates that the local context of a conversation can influence how end of life is mentioned and discussed.

Practice implications

Clinicians often are encouraged to promote honest and ‘open’ discussions about end of life. Our findings show that it is not necessary to explicitly mention end of life in order to discuss it.  相似文献

Objectives

To explore experiences of treatment decision-making (TDM) amongst men diagnosed with stage 1–3 prostate cancer.

Methods

Mixed-methods study incorporating UK-wide cross-sectional postal survey of men 18–42 months post-diagnosis and semi-structured interviews with a subsample (n?=?97), including men who received both radical treatments and active surveillance. Interview data was analysed using a Framework approach.

Results

Within the context of TDM, 'drivers' included men's intra-personal preferences for decision-making responsibility or clinical direction, relative treatment intrusiveness or desire for excision, and work, personal and social life priorities; 'facilitators' were inter-personal mechanisms such as information and communication with clinicians to enact, but also sometimes challenge drivers. Drivers and facilitators can conflict, challenging patient empowerment. Men frequently undertook greater TDM responsibility than desired, without clinical recommendations; others received conflicting recommendations. Information on potential side-effects was often reportedly inadequate. Unchallenged preferences, absence of clinical recommendations and inadequate preparation for side-effects sometimes led to decision regret.

Conclusions

Men are not empowered when expected to take more TDM responsibility than desired, when provided with conflicting recommendations, or when their potentially inappropriate preferences are unchallenged.

Practice implications

TDM should involve men exercising preferences and priorities in discussion with clinicians. Clinicians should ensure patients do not receive conflicting recommendations.  相似文献

Objectives

The study’s goals were to characterize decisional conflict and preparedness for making the decision about having CPM among breast cancer patients considering CPM who do not carry cancer-predisposing mutation and to evaluate correlates of decisional conflict and preparedness.

Methods

93 women considering CPM completed a survey of decisional conflict and preparedness for the CPM decision, knowledge, perceived risk, self-efficacy, reasons for CPM, input from others and discussion with the doctor about CPM, and cancer worry.

Results

Between 8% and 27% of women endorsed elevated decisional conflict. Most women were satisfied with preparatory information that they were provided. Knowledge was low. Top reasons for choosing CPM were the desire for peace of mind, lowering the chance of another breast cancer, and improving survival.

Conclusions

Decisional conflict is elevated in a subset of patients considering CPM. A more well-informed decision may be fostered by a comprehensive discussion about CPM with the patient’s clinician, fostering self-efficacy in managing cancer worry, and helping patients understand their motivations for CPM.

Practice implications

Clinicians working with breast cancer patients considering CPM should discuss the CPM decision, foster self-efficacy in managing cancer worry, and help patients understand their motivations for the surgery.  相似文献

Objective

To test the efficacy of a hybrid model of the self-help intervention program (hSHIP), which combines a mobile version of SHIP (mSHIP) and personal coaching, to address unique cultural and motivational factors for optimal self-management of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes among Korean Americans (KAs).

Methods

A single-group feasibility study design was used. The hSHIP utilizes texts and motivational counseling based on well-tested intervention content for KAs. To facilitate the dissemination of hSHIP, we developed a web application adopting the principles of persuasive technology to motivate behavior changes.

Results

Feasibility assessment found that hSHIP was well accepted by both participants and community health workers who delivered the intervention. An average of 1.3% A1C reduction (from 7.8% to 6.5%) was achieved by KAs with diabetes (n?=?165), 51.5% of whom lowered their A1C below 6.5% in 6-months. No one with prediabetes (n?=?50) progressed to diabetes. Other clinical outcomes (e.g., weight, depression, and blood pressure) also improved significantly; 41.2% were able to reduce or discontinue antidiabetic drugs.

Conclusion

The feasibility and initial efficacy of hSHIP were demonstrated.

Practice implication

This hybrid diabetes self-management model is a viable tool for traditionally underserved groups with diabetes or prediabetes.  相似文献

Objective

Care communication about obesity needs to respond to the complex biopsychosocial processes that affect weight and health. The collaborative deliberation model conceptualizes interpersonal work that underpins empathic communication and shared decision-making. The goal of this study was to elucidate how primary care practitioners can use the model to achieve shared obesity assessment and care planning.

Methods

This qualitative study used direct observation of clinical encounters with twenty patients with obesity sampled for maximum variation in context, semi-structured patient and provider interviews, patient journals and two follow-up interviews over eight weeks. Themes were compared to the original model.

Results

We identified five processes that may be relevant for collaborative deliberation about obesity in addition to the original model: (1) Exploring the story, (2) Reframing the story, (3) Co-constructing a new story, (4) Choosing a priority, and (5) Experimenting with alternatives.

Conclusions

We propose an enhanced collaborative deliberation model for obesity that describes the interpersonal work needed before and after deliberation about preferences and courses of action.

Practice implications

The enhanced model can support clinicians in achieving meaningful conversations about obesity and complex chronic disease resulting in care plans that are responsive to and achievable in the patient’s lifeworld.  相似文献

Objective

To examine how, and for what interactional purpose, a surgeon raises the risk of death with an early-stage breast cancer patient.

Method

Single-case analysis of a recorded surgical consultation, using conversation analysis.

Results

The surgeon not only negotiates the surgical treatment decision with the patient, she provides an overview of what her non-surgical treatment is likely to entail. Analysis reveals how the surgeon addresses interactional challenges when providing this overview, including how to broach the rationale for administering chemotherapy, the possibility that cancer could spread to vital organs and prove fatal. To do this, the surgeon orients to the possibility that the patient has misconceptions about her risk of dying from breast cancer. She uses negatively-formulated assertions to invoke these possible misconceptions, making correction relevant and providing a point of entry into delicate interactional territory.

Conclusion

The surgeon draws upon possible patient misconceptions to broach the rationale for administering adjuvant chemotherapy.

Practice Implications

The surgical consultation is typically the first treatment-related consultation newly-diagnosed breast cancer patients have and represents an opportunity to educate patients and prepare them for future treatment decisions. The challenges of providing and receiving such overviews, and how they may influence future treatment decisions, merit consideration.  相似文献

Objectives

We explored the relationship between patient-perceived shared decision making (SDM) and three domains of health literacy (HL) in patients with breast cancer.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, we prospectively recruited a convenience sample of 511 breast cancer patients from 3 hospitals in Taiwan. Patients completed questionnaires about HL and perceived SDM in a recent consultation. Sequential regressions, controlling for International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)-related factors) were conducted. Interactions of each HL domain with age or education were also assessed for the relationship with perceived SDM.

Results

Higher scores in the HL domains of healthcare and disease prevention, but lower scores in the health promotion domain, were significantly associated with a higher perceived level of SDM after controlling for ICF-related factors (R2?=?33.44%). The association of SDM with two domains of HL varied with age, while the relationship between the 3 HL domains and SDM differed across education levels.

Conclusion

Each HL domain was significantly associated with perceived SDM after controlling for the ICF-related factors and across different age- and education-stratifications.

Practice implications

Clinicians should be cognizant of patients’ HL levels and incorporate HL best practices into consultations and interactions with patients with breast cancer to facilitate SDM.  相似文献

Objective

Our aim was to gather community stakeholder input to inform the development of a digital system linking depression screening to decision support.

Methods

Views and feature requirements were identified through (1) focus groups with patients and consumers with depression, and interviews with primary care clinicians and (2) usability sessions where patients and consumers used the current version of encounter decision aid (eDA) in a primary care waiting room. Qualitative data were analyzed using the framework method.

Results

We conducted six focus groups with 15 participants, seven clinician interviews and 10 usability sessions. Patients were comfortable completing the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and receiving the electronic eDA in clinic. They felt this would allow patients to prepare for their visit and instill a sense of agency. Participants were comfortable receiving the PHQ-9 results and a subsequent eDA on a tablet in the waiting room.

Conclusion

Patients with and without depression, as well as clinicians, viewed linking the PHQ-9, results, and eDA positively. Patients were comfortable doing this in the clinic waiting room.

Practice implications

Linking depression decision support to screening was viewed positively by patients and clinicians, and could help overcome barriers to shared decision-making implementation in this population.  相似文献

Objective

To break new ground by directly examining how patients seek life-expectancy estimates, and how doctors support them in doing so.

Methods

Conversation analytic examination of 10 recorded UK hospice consultations involving 3 palliative specialists.

Results

Life-expectancy estimate episodes frequently begin after a doctor has given a patient an opportunity to shape the consultation agenda. Rather than posing direct questions, patients cautiously display their interest in receiving an estimate using statements. These often contain preparatory information about: what they already know about their prognosis, their perspective on it, and readiness to hear more. When patients do not provide this information, doctors invite it before giving an estimate. Patients’ companions also contribute to this preparatory work.

Conclusion

Doctors, patients, and companions collaboratively work to prepare a conversational environment wherein emotional states and uncertainties have been addressed prior to delivery of the actual estimate. This helps manage both possible emotional distress, and prognostic uncertainty entailed in seeking and delivering estimates.

Practice implications

Clinicians should be mindful that rather than overtly requesting estimates, patients may seek them more cautiously. Before delivering estimates, doctors can support patients to articulate their existing understanding and perspective regarding prognosis, and their readiness to hear more.  相似文献

Objective

To develop an educational mobile application (app) for expectant parents diagnosed with risk factors for premature birth.

Methods

Parent and medical advisory panels delineated the vision for the app. The app helps prepare for preterm birth. For pilot testing, obstetricians offered the app between 18–22 weeks gestational age to English speaking parents with risk factors for preterm birth. After 4 weeks of use, each participant completed a questionnaire. The software tracked topics accessed and duration of use.

Results

For pilot testing, 31 participants were recruited and 28 completed the questionnaire. After app utilization, participants reported heightened awareness of preterm birth (93%), more discussion of pregnancy or prematurity issues with partner (86%), increased questions at clinic visits (43%), and increased anxiety (21%). Participants reported receiving more prematurity information from the app than from their healthcare providers. The 15 participants for whom tracking data was available accessed the app for an average of 8?h.

Conclusion

Parents with increased risk for preterm birth may benefit from this mobile app educational program.

Practice implications

If the pregnancy results in preterm birth hospitalization, parents would have built a foundation of knowledge to make informed medical care choices.  相似文献

Objective

This study was conducted to examine the effect of education on quality of life and constipation severity in patients with primary constipation.

Methods

This randomised controlled study was conducted with 80 patients who applied at the gastroenterology outpatient clinic of a university hospital. In the study, the Constipation Questionnaire, Constipation Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (PAC-QOL), and Constipation Severity Instrument (CSI) were used.

Results

It was that found after 4 weeks of education, the total PAC-QOL mean score decreased to 60.85?±?5.65 and total CSI mean score decreased to 20.17?±?4.05 in the intervention group (p?<?0.001). No change was observed in the patients in the control group (p?>?0.05). After 4 weeks, a statistical difference was found between the two groups in PAC-QOL mean score and CSI mean score (p?<?0.05).

Conclusion

It was determined that the education given to individuals with primary constipation decreased the constipation severity and increased the quality of life.

Practice implications

Constipation education will make a contribution to the active use of follow-up forms by nurses in the clinic for the diagnosis of constipation, individual assessment of each patient, and their active role in constipation management.  相似文献

Objective

We examined the prevalence and extent of informed decision-making (IDM) and patient-centered decision-making (PCDM) in primary care visits of African Americans with depression.

Methods

We performed a cross-sectional analysis of audiotaped clinical encounters and post-visit surveys of 76 patients and their clinicians. We used RIAS to characterize patient-centeredness of visit dialogue. IDM entailed discussion of 3 components: the nature of the decision, alternatives, and pros/cons. PCDM entailed discussion of: lifestyle/coping strategies, knowledge/beliefs, or treatment concerns. We examined the association of IDM and PCDM with visit duration, overall patient-centeredness, and patient/clinician interpersonal ratings.

Results

Approximately one-quarter of medication and counseling decisions included essential IDM elements and 40% included at least one PCDM element. In high patient-centered visits, IDM was associated with patients feeling respected in counseling and liking clinicians in medication decisions. IDM was not related to clinician ratings. In low patient-centered visits, PCDM in counseling decisions was positively associated with patients feeling respected and clinicians respecting patients.

Conclusions

The associations between IDM and PCDM with interpersonal ratings was moderated by overall patient-centeredness of the visit, which may be indicative of broader cross-cultural communication issues.

Practice implications

Strengthening partnerships between depressed African Americans and their clinicians may improve patient-engaged decision-making.  相似文献

Objective

To examine breast cancer patients’ reasons to seek a second opinion (SO) and the underlying variables. To find out more about the outcome of the SO, the perceived helpfulness and the effect on the physician-patient relationship.

Methods

In 2017, 4626 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients from 86 hospitals in Germany completed a postoperative mail survey (response rate?=?89.04%). Data from 419 SO-seeking patients was obtained and analyzed by conducting logistic regression and non-parametric group comparisons.

Results

Reasons to seek an SO were mostly unrelated to the physician-patient relationship. Reasons related to the physician-patient-relationship were associated with a lower education level. The SO mostly (72.2%) equaled the first opinion. A different treatment plan recommendation (25%) reportedly affected the patients’ relationship with their primary physician. Patients who received a different diagnosis reported more fear of progression. Most patients found the SO helpful.

Conclusion

The reasons to seek an SO are primarily unrelated to the physician-patient relationship. However, less educated patients seem to have different reasons to seek an SO. These reasons were reportedly associated with the physician-patient relationship.

Practice implications

Physicians may need to explicitly ascertain the patient’s needs within the physician-patient communication to avoid inequalities based on patient education.  相似文献

Objective

The study was conducted to determine the effects of prenatal education on quality of life and complaints during pregnancy.

Methods

This study is a quasi-experimental research with a control group. Personal Information Form and Scale of Complaints during Pregnancy and their Effects on Quality of Life (SCPEQL) were used to collect the data. Thirty participants were included in both the control and the intervention groups (N?=?60).

Results

The mean scores of SCPEQL of the intervention group was 46.2?±?21.1 and the mean scores of SCPEQL of the control group was 99.8?±?21.6 in 2nd trimester. In the 3rd trimester, the mean score of SCPEQL of the intervention group was 43.5?±?16.4, and the mean score of SCPEQL of the control group was 108.0?±?16.8. The difference between the groups was statistically significant in 2nd and 3rd trimesters (p?<?0.05).

Conclusion

Findings of the study suggest that providing prenatal education reduces complaints and increases quality of life of pregnant women.

Practice implications

Assessing complaints during pregnancy by nurses is a part of the prenatal care. Therefore, nurses should evaluate pregnancy-related complaints. Quality of life should be increased by giving effective education about complaints during pregnancy.  相似文献

Introduction

Syndecan-1 is heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) that is used as coreceptors for signaling of growth factors. The comprehensive effect of syndecan-1 is to augment receptor stimulation at little ligand concentrations.

The goal of this research

is to study syndecan-1 expression in breast carcinoma and its value in predicting the prognosis in comparison to other clinicopathological parameters.

Material &methods

immunohistochemistry study for syndecan-1 is done on 103 cases of invasive breast carcinoma. Its expression is assessed and correlated to other clinicopathological parameters and prognosis.

Results

overexpression was significantly related to high histologic grade (p?=?0.001), large tumor size (p?=?0.043), HER2-positive status (p?=?0.001), and ER&PR-negative status (p?=?0.001). It was also have a negative impact on the overall survival (p=0.012) and disease free survival (p?=?0.009). Syndecan-1 expression showed weak positive correlation with Her 2 expression (Correlation Coefficient (co): 0.332, p?=?0.001).

Conclusion

syndecan-1 is a good predictor of poor overall survival and recurrence/ metastasis free survival. It is associated with aggressive phenotype as HER2 enriched and Triple negative rather than luminal subtypes of breast carcinoma. So it can be added to the hormonal receptors and HER 2 assay in the routine management of invasive breast cancer after confirmation on a more larger study.  相似文献
