Study Overview

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of the ASk Questions in GYnecologic Oncology question prompt list (ASQ-GYO QPL) at improving patient self-efficacy, distress, physician trust, and knowledge compared to usual care during new patient gynecologic oncology visits. Also to determine the acceptability of the ASQ-GYO QPL with new gynecologic oncology patients.

Detailed Description

  • Potential participants who are scheduled for a new patient appointment will be contacted via phone or email to determine if they are interested in participating.
  • If a participant is interested, they will choose their preferred method of consenting (phone, email, or in person) and if they would like to complete the pre-visit survey now or at a later time prior to their appointment
  • If consented, all participants will be provided with the pre-survey questionnaire. If eligible, participants will then be randomized to usual care or the intervention (ASk Questions in GYnecologic Oncology question prompt list (ASQ-GYO QPL)
  • If randomized to receive the ASQ-QYO QPL, they will be emailed this document and given a paper copy of the ASQ-GYO QPL in the waiting room prior to their visit to ensure they have received the intervention.
  • Directly after the participant's visit, all participants will be asked to complete the post-visit survey on a tablet in the clinic waiting room, or via a secure link in an email within 1 week of the appointment.
  • After completion of the post-visit survey and within one month of their visit, participants who were not randomized to receive the ASQ-GYO QPL will be sent the ASQ-GYO QPL via email so that they may also have access to this resource.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in pre- and post-visit self-efficacy scores and compared by trial group

Time Frame: All participants will complete the PEPPI instrument twice: within 2 weeks of their first visit and again within 1 week after the visit.

The Perceived Efficacy in Patient-Provider Interactions (PEPPI) instrument is a validated, 20-item, 5-point Likert scale tool designed to measure patient's self-efficacy in obtaining medical information and attention to their medical concerns from physicians.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Change in pre- and post-visit National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Distress Thermometer scores compared by trial group(All participants, Twice: within 2 weeks of the first visit and again within 1 week after the visit)
  • Knowledge Screen(All participants will complete a post-visit knowledge screen once within 1 week after their visit)
  • Change in pre- and post-visit Trust in a Physician scores compared by trial group(All participants, Twice: within 2 weeks of the first visit and again within 1 week after the visit)
