Video Presentation

Sujin Ann-Yi, PHD, MA

The goal of this research study is to learn about advanced cancer patients' preferences about how psychology services are introduced.

This is an investigational study.

Up to 110 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

If you agree to take part in this study, during an already-scheduled office visit, you will complete 3 questionnaires about your symptoms, your emotional health, and if you have ever participated in psychiatric or psychology services. These questionnaires should take about 9 minutes to complete.

All participants will watch 2 short videos. The videos show actors playing a doctor, counselor, and patient, discussing psychology service options. Each video is about 1 minute and 30 seconds long and will discuss the same material, but the content of each video will be different. The order in which they are presented will be randomly assigned (as in the flip of a coin). You will have an equal chance of seeing either video first.

After you watch the second video, you will complete 3 questionnaires about whether you think 1 of the videos was better than the other, and about your attitude toward psychology services. These questionnaires should take about 4 minutes to complete.

Length of Study:

It should take about 16 minutes to watch both videos and to complete all questionnaires. Your participation on this study will be over after you have completed the last questionnaire.

Other Information:

We will ask your caregiver(s) to leave the room while the videos are played. In case they decide to stay, we will ask them to keep silent.

Communication Strategies to Introduce Psychology Services

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Communication Strategies to Introduce Psychology Services in the Palliative Care Setting

Participants asked the preference to the introduction of counselor. The possible answers are The First Video, The Second Video, Neither, or No Difference. The actual content of the answers will be decoded by the study team at the end of the study to "Counselor Alone" or "MD + Counselor" depending on each patient's assigned arm.

Smoking cessation intervention

Informational intervention

Kinsey Pebley, PhD, MPH

The purpose of the current study is to pilot the efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of an evidence-based smoking cessation intervention adapted for cancer patients and delivered via video. Investigators aim to assess if this intervention is considered acceptable by participants, feasible to implement, and effective at increasing knowledge about smoking cessation before conducting a fully powered clinical trial.

A randomized controlled pilot study is being conducted to test the acceptability and feasibility of a smoking cessation intervention tailored for cancer patients that is delivered via video. Participants will be in a video intervention or control group that receives information about quitting smoking. Participants will complete surveys prior to randomization, and will complete additional surveys one week, one month, and three months post-randomization to provide their thoughts about the videos, information about changes to smoking behaviors, and knowledge about quitting smoking.

Video Interventions for Dependence On Smoking (VIDeOS) for Cancer Patients: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study

Acceptability will be measured using the Acceptability of Intervention measure, which contains four items with answer options on a scale from 1-5, with higher scores indicating higher acceptability. We will consider the intervention "acceptable" if an average score of 4 or higher is obtained.

Feasibility will be measured using the Feasibility of Intervention measure, which contains four items with answer options on a scale from 1-5, with higher scores indicating higher feasibility. We will consider the intervention "feasible" if an average score of 4 or higher is obtained.

We will determine if there are differences in retention rates between intervention groups.

We will assess changes in knowledge about tools to quit smoking and the role of nicotine, etc. from prior to randomization (before the intervention is delivered) to post-randomization follow-ups. These questions will be generated by the study investigators based on video content.

We will assess the number of 24-hour quit attempts and 7-day point prevalence at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 month follow-ups.

Participant completes 5 questionnaires during an already-scheduled office visit.

Participant then watches 2 short videos. After the first video, participant completes 3 questionnaires. After viewing the second video, participant completes 5 questionnaires.

Participant completes 5 questionnaires during an already-scheduled office visit. Questionnaires ask about symptoms, physical and emotional health, and trust in the medical profession. These questionnaires should take about 17 minutes to complete.

Baseline Questionnaires

Participant watches 2 short videos that show actors playing doctor and patient roles, discussing different cancer-related symptom treatment options. Each video is about 4 minutes long and discusses the same content, but setting of each video is different.

Videos

After viewing first video, participant completes assessment questionnaire to evaluate their opinion of the physicians behavior. These questionnaires should take about 5 minutes to complete.

After viewing second video, participant completes the same 3 assessment questionnaires. Participant also completes 2 additional questionnaires asking which physician participant would prefer as a primary physician and the satisfaction with health information technology use in their care.

Assessment Questionnaires

Ali Haider, MBBS

The goal of this research study is to learn how patients feel about their doctors' attitudes toward supportive care and treatment options for advanced cancer patients.

If you agree to take part in this study, during an already-scheduled office visit, you will complete 5 questionnaires about your symptoms, your physical and emotional health, and your trust in the medical profession. These questionnaires should take about 17 minutes to complete.

Study Groups:

After you have completed the first 5 questionnaires, you will be randomly assigned (as in the roll of the dice) to 1 of 4 groups.

Each group will watch 2 short videos that show actors playing doctor and patient roles, discussing different cancer-related symptom treatment options. Each video is about 4 minutes long and will discuss the same content, but setting of each video will be different.

After watching the first video, you will complete 3 questionnaires about your opinions of the doctor's behavior. These questionnaires should take about 5 minutes to complete.

After you watch the second video, you will complete the same 3 questionnaires. You will also complete 2 additional questionnaires about which doctor you would rather have as your doctor and why, and your opinion about the setting of the examination room in the video. It should take about 8 minutes to complete these questionnaires.

Length of Study:

It should take about 38 minutes to watch both videos and to complete all questionnaires. Your participation on this study will be over after you have completed the last questionnaire.

Other Information:

You must attend the study visit alone. Your family members should not be in the room with you while you are participating in the study. You may request to have family members remain in the room, but they must remain silent so that they do not influence your opinions.

This is an investigational study.

Up to 120 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

Patient Perception of Physician's Compassion, Communication Skills, and Professionalism During an Outpatient Palliative Care Visit

Patient Perception of Physician's Compassion, Communication Skills, and Professionalism During an Outpatient Palliative Care Visit: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Participant's rating of physician's compassion assessed by using a 5-item tool consisting of five 0-10 numerical rating scales assessing five dimensions: warm-cold, pleasant-unpleasant, compassionate distant, sensitive insensitive, caring-uncaring. The sum of the five scales gives a final score representing physician's compassion with a 0 to 50 scale.

Participant's rating of physician communication skills assessed by using a 14-item tool consisting of 1 to 4 numerical rating scales assessing communication skills. The sum of these 14 scales gives a final score representing physician's communication skills with a 14 to 70 scale.

Participant's rating of physician's professionalism assessed by using a 4-item tool assessing politeness, listening, explaining the condition and treatment to the participant and participant's involvement in treatment decisions. Participant rates from poor to very good.
