Decision Aid for the Improvement of Decision-Making in Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Running, not enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma, Stage I Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage II Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage III Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IV Lung Cancer AJCC v8

In brief

This clinical trial refines and tests the effect of a decision aid in improving decision-making in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Patients with cancer want to be informed about their diagnoses, treatment procedures and goals of treatment. They also seek active roles in decision-making. Shared decision-making (SDM) is the process of clinician and patient jointly participating in a health decision after discussing the options, benefits and harms, and considering the patient's values, preferences, and circumstances. SDM can improve patient involvement in decision making, satisfaction, health care quality, and quality of life. Decision aids can improve patient knowledge, create more realistic outcome expectations; reduce decisional conflict, distress, depression and uncertainty; and improve physician-patient communication and quality of life, compared with no decision aid. This trial's main aim is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a decision aid in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
