简要总结
The overarching goal of the project is to use a mixed-methods research design to assess the validity of a new instrument developed to assess cancer patients' perceptions of care coordination across varied care settings.
详细描述
This proposed cancer care delivery research project aims to validate a new instrument (CCI; cancer care coordination instrument) designed to assess cancer patients' perceptions of care coordination. Care coordination (CC) is important for all patients, and it is especially important for cancer patients as they have complex episodes of care, multi-disciplinary interventions, prolonged duration of care, and an overall high symptom burden. Further, CC is critical for cancer patients due to several transition points between stages of care (diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and end of life), varied settings of care (inpatient, ambulatory), and multiple physicians (medical, surgical, radiation oncologists) and other healthcare providers (e.g., oncology nurses, primary care physicians, physicians/nurses' assistants) providing care.
A CCI validated in ethnically/racially diverse samples can be utilized to identify potential targets for intervention and improvement in CC for specific populations and to reduce or eliminate the disparities in cancer health outcomes. Validation of the CCI under this proposal will have widespread applicability to oncology care across varied practice environments and will form a foundation for the creation of similar tools for other chronic and complex conditions.

结局指标
主要结局
Assessing focus group initial perceptions of the care coordination instrument (CCI) as measured by the participants' Likert scale responses to the instruments' questionnaire items.
时间窗: 12 months
We will assess focus group initial perceptions of the care coordination instrument (CCI) as measured by the participants' Likert scale responses to the instruments' questionnaire items. These 27 survey items are used to assess three domains of care coordination. These domains include patient/physician communications, operations and navigation. Additionally, the taped narratives and comments of participants provided during the focus group discussions are used to identify and analyze sources of response error in the questionnaire by identifying the cognitive processes respondents use to answer the survey questions. Specifically, whether subjects understand the survey items as intended by the research team.
次要结局
