简要总结
Brief Summary The goal of this study is to understand how patient empowerment and a Question Prompt List (QPL) can help cancer patients.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
What are the views of nurses, physicians, and cancer patients on patient empowerment? Does using a Question Prompt List (QPL) improve patient empowerment and reduce anxiety? Researchers will collect qualitative and quantitative data by measuring patient empowerment and anxiety levels.
Who can participate? Cancer patients receiving treatment at Private Anadolu Medical Center Hospital Nurses and physicians working with cancer patients What will participants do? Answer survey questions about their experiences with empowerment, anxiety, and communication Participate in interviews to share their thoughts on patient empowerment Use a Question Prompt List (QPL) during medical consultations Why is this study important? Many cancer patients struggle with anxiety and lack of information about their care.
A Question Prompt List (QPL) may help patients ask better questions, feel more in control of their treatment, and reduce anxiety.
This study will contribute to oncology research and help develop a culture-specific QPL for use in cancer care.
This study will take place at Private Anadolu Medical Center Hospital from January 2023 to November 2024.

Masking Description:
Since this study involves a communication-based intervention, blinding is not feasible, as both participants and care providers are directly involved in delivering and receiving the intervention.

研究组 & 干预措施
"QPL vs. standard care to assess impact on patient empowerment & anxiety in cancer patients.
Experimental Group 1 (QPL Communication Intervention Group) Participants in this group will receive a structured communication intervention using the Quick Question List (QPL) during their oncology examinations. The QPL aims to enhance patient empowerment, encourage active participation, and improve communication between patients and healthcare providers. It is designed to help patients express their concerns effectively and engage more actively in their care process.
Intervention:
Implementation of a QPL-based communication strategy in addition to standard oncology care.
干预措施: QPL-based Communication Intervention (Behavioral)
Standard Care Group
Participants in this group will receive standard physician-patient communication without any additional intervention. This group serves as a control group to evaluate the effectiveness of the QPL-based communication intervention.
Intervention:
No additional communication tools or interventions will be applied. Patients will receive routine oncology consultations with standard physician-patient interactions.
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Patient Empowerment Score
时间窗: Immediately before the first consultation and within 1 day after the second and third consultations
Assessed using the Patient Empowerment Scale to evaluate the effect of QPL-based communication on patient empowerment compared to standard communication. Higher scores indicate greater empowerment.
Change in Anxiety Level (HADS)
时间窗: Immediately before the first consultation and within 1 day after the second and third consultations
Measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to assess changes in anxiety levels resulting from QPL-based communication versus standard communication. Lower scores indicate lower anxiety.
