DECLIC Patient Education Program : Assessment Through a Population Health Intervention Research Approach (LE DECLIC EPRI)

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Cancer Patients With Cancer Pain
• Interventions: Other: Experimental group; Other: standrad group

• Registration Number: NCT04634097
• Lead Sponsor: Institut Curie

Brief Summary

Cancer pain is a frequent symptom, reported by 20 to 70% of patients in any stage of the cancer disease : 60 to 70% in the advanced stage of the disease and 20 to 40% among the survivors. Among patients who report pain, 40% report undertreated pain. Strengthening Pain management in cancer is a specific objective of the French Cancer Plan. Providing patient education for cancer pain management is recommended since small to moderate efficacy of patient education on pain intensity and interference was found in all meta-analysis. An effect size comparable with some analgesic agents. However, recommendations suggest improvement in order to increase effectiveness and population reach of those interventions. The DECLIC EPRI intervention aim at addressing all the issues raised by patient education for cancer pain management. It was developed according to the framework of Michie's Behavior change wheel theory.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Experimental group	Experimental group	Clusters will be proposed LE DECLIC EPRI intervention, which is a complex intervention, associating 3 components,: A. DECLIC program set up in the centers, open to concerned patients. B. 3 training sessions : * one public of primary care physicians in order to give them the opportunity to be involved in the medical care in charge of the patient suffering from cancer pain. * one public of cancer physicians, leaders of opinions in each cancer centers participating to the study and one public of health professionals in order to train them to be educators (team building). * for healthcare professionals in order to train them as educators in this program. C. The collaboration of one primary care network, specialized in pain management, in order to reinforce the patient care pathway.
Standard group	standrad group	Standard follow-up patient related to pain. Specific to each center : with or without existing local ETP program (standard care).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Effectiveness of LE DECLIC EPRI intervention on the pain interference with the daily life	6 months	Brief pain Inventory BPI Questionnaire

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The organizational effectiveness of the intervention.	6 months	Organizational effectiveness Number of GPs recruited in the training sessions. Number of other primary care professionals recruited in the training sessions. Number of consultations with the GP by patient. Number of cancer pain consultations with the GP by patient. Number of consultation by patient due to pain with the GP. Number of interactions developed between the pain management network and GPs. Number of emergency consultations and hospitalisations due to pain by patient in the center.
Effectiveness of the intervention on patients value.	6 months	D'Ivernois 2008 questionnaire, PAT-SAT 32 questionnaire, SMD Q9 questionnaire. Patient perceived quality of care will be assessed thanks to the medical consultation dimension of the PAT-SAT 32, a validated questionnaire in French.; Reported share decision making, inside GPs consultation, by patient. Share decision making assessed in the center with the with the SMD Q9, validated in French.
Efficiency of the intervention.	6 months	Cost-effectiveness analysis.
Effect of patient's caracteristics on the intervention effectiveness and participation.	6 months	EDI quintile and Newest Vital Sign
Effectiveness of the intervention on other clinical outcomes	6 months	Brief pain Inventory BPI, EQ-5D, DAMS questionnaires Other dimension of the QCD : current pain, average pain and worst pain in the last 24 hours.; Number of area identified as painfull by the patient, and surface of those area, measured on the "figures" item of the QCD.; Quality of life, assessed with the EQ-5D, in order to transform the results into utilities for the efficiency evaluation.; Side effects occurrence, related to the toxicity of the analgesics, assessed with a questionnaire constructed by the research team (questionnaires ad hoc).; Occurrence of atypical pain. Date of the occurrence of atypical pain. Occurrence of epiduritis. Date of the occurrence of epiduritis. Time between atypical pain occurrence and epiduritis diagnosis. Adhesion to analgesic medications assessed with a French translation of the questionnaire DAMS (Garfield et al), standardized per analgesic.
Educational effectiveness of the intervention.	6 months	quiz with certitude level assessement, sure test, HADS questionnaires, French-Canadian Chronic Pain Self-efficacy Scale (FC-CPSES).; Knowledge, assessed with a quiz with certitude level assessement, developed specifically for the DECLIC program, by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, patients and reseachers.; Skills assessed with scenarii (simulated cases) developed specifically for the DECLIC program, by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, patients and reseachers. Informed decision assessed with a scenario (simulated case) developed specifically for the DECLIC program, by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, patients and reseachers. Informed decision is assessed with the French version of the SURE test. Anxiety : with the HADS questionnaire. Self efficacy, with French-Canadian Chronic Pain Self-efficacy Scale (FC-CPSES).; Sense of control with visual analogical scale. Ability to communicate with visual analogical scale developed specifically for the DECLIC program.
Implementation of the intervention	48 months	participation rate in the training of GPs and KLOs, number of GPs contacting the network, number of GPs contacting the patient education team, number of oncologists referring patients to the DECLIC program, number of patients referred by oncologist, number of oncologist consulting the patient education DECLIC e-record.; Reach : number of patients who agreed to participate/number of patients to whom the study was proposed.; Reasons for refusal.
Interaction between the contexts and the intervention effectiveness.	48 months	Barriers and drivers to intervention adoption among KLOs and oncologists. Barriers and drivers to effective intervention in GPs. Barriers and drivers to effective intervention in patients.
