PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how patients with stage II, stage III, or stage IV pancreatic cancer or stage III or stage IV colon cancer or rectal cancer make decisions about participating in a clinical trial.
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the relationship between disease factors, patient factors, and understanding of the cancer clinical trial, and preferences for decision control in the decision to participate in a cancer clinical trial by patients with stage II-IV pancreatic cancer or stage III-IV colon or rectal cancer.
- Determine the relationship between disease factors, patient factors, understanding of the cancer clinical trial, and preferences for decision control with satisfaction with the decision to participate in a cancer clinical trial.
- Determine how quality of life, trust, and hope impact the decision to participate in a cancer clinical trial and the satisfaction with this decision.
OUTLINE: This is a cross-sectional study.
Patients complete 12 questionnaires to assess their symptom burden (e.g., nausea, pain, fatigue), sociodemographics, hope, quality of life, trust in the healthcare system, trust in health professionals, research decision control, perceived risks, adequacy of research information, clinical trial participation, and decision satisfaction.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 200 patients will be accrued for this study.
