简要总结
For optimal patient care, it is imperative that healthcare professionals implement appropriate strategies. These strategies must take into account changes in healthcare practices associated with advances in medications and medical equipment. Clinical trials play a crucial role in validating the efficacy and safety of these advances, ensuring high-quality and constantly improving healthcare.
However the proportion of patients included in therapeutic trials is often considered too low.
Several ideas have been explored to explain the low participation rate in research projects. These are closely linked to research actors and tools, such as, for example:
- the research protocol and its eligibility criteria, which may be overly strict
- healthcare professionals with the barriers encountered in carrying out research programs (motivation, attitude and perceptions, human, logistical and technical constraints, lack of training)
- patients who are generally poorly acculturated to clinical research, the lack of information for patients in healthcare services, and patients' lack of trust in the healthcare system.
- ...
In Martinique, healthcare professionals face the same challenges in including patients in clinical trials.
Patient inclusion is necessary due to the region's demographic and medical characteristics. To improve patient inclusion in these trials, it is important to define the human and material barriers and levers that influence the participation of patients and healthcare professionals in clinical research protocols in the medical oncology departments of the Martinique University Hospital.
The investigators believe that increased patient awareness of the benefits of clinical research, equally increased incentives for healthcare professionals, and the establishment of adequate support structures would increase participation in clinical research protocols within the medical oncology departments of the Martinique University Hospital.
By conducting a mixed qualitative and quantitative study to gather the perspectives of patients and caregivers, the investigators aim to identify the human and material barriers that limit the participation of oncology patients in Martinique.
详细描述
As the French department with the oldest population, Martinique faces an over-incidence of certain diseases. For optimal patient care, it is imperative that healthcare professionals implement appropriate strategies. These strategies must take into account changes in healthcare practices associated with advances in medications and medical equipment. Clinical trials play a crucial role in validating the efficacy and safety of these advances, ensuring high-quality and constantly improving healthcare.
The goal of clinical research is to improve knowledge about a medication, a pathology, a procedure, or a treatment protocol.
Regardless of the specialty, clinical trials remain the only scientific means of demonstrating the quality and accuracy of information or the safety of medications or medical techniques.
Furthermore, offering a patient the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial is often a source of therapeutic alternatives or innovations.
It should be noted that the proportion of patients included in therapeutic trials is often considered too low.

结局指标
主要结局
Qualitative study with patients: questioning the participation of patients from the services involved in medical oncology at the Martinique University Hospital in clinical research projects and identifying the obstacles and levers to this participation.
时间窗: 6 months
A semi-structured interview, lasting 20 to 30 minutes, will be conducted by the sociologist and anthropologist. They will use questionnaires (semi-structured interview grids), administered to patients face-to-face or by telephone. Patients will be interviewed only once. The interview grid includes the following sections: personal characteristics such as age, family and professional situation, municipality of residence, and knowledge of clinical research.
Quantitative study among professionals: measure the proportion of healthcare professionals of CHU of Martinique who have already participated in clinical research projects or agreed to participate in them treating patients with medical oncology needs.
时间窗: 3 months
Questionnaires will be administered by email, in a single session, to healthcare professionals who have agreed to participate in the study.
次要结局
- Qualitative patient study: Research the existence of factors associated with patient participation such as age, gender, socio-professional category, etc.(6 months)
- Quantitative study among professionals: Measure the importance of identified barriers and enablers for participating in clinical research projects among healthcare professionals in the medical oncology departments of the Martinique University Hospital.(3 months)
