简要总结
The goal of this research study is to learn about the effects of a doctor's characteristics on participant's preference for a doctor. Researchers also want to learn about how a doctor's characteristics affect participant's options about professionalism and compassion.
详细描述
If participant agrees to take part in this study, participant will be asked to complete 7 questionnaires. These questionnaires ask about participant's gender, date of birth, ethnicity, marital status, level of education, religion, and information about the disease and treatments participant received. Participant will also be asked about any symptoms participant may be having, how much trust participant has in the medical profession in general, how participant feels about the disease, any depression or anxiety participant may have, and participant's level of hopefulness. These questionnaires should take about 6 minutes to complete.
Participant will be shown 2 videos (each 3 minutes long) and then participant will complete questions about each video. Participant will be asked to rate the doctors participant saw on their professionalism and their compassion.
Caregivers will be required to leave the room or stay silent while the participant is watching the videos.
The total time to watch the videos and complete the second set of questionnaires should be about 7 minutes.
Finally, participant will be asked to complete 3 questionnaires about participant's overall preference for a doctor. These questionnaires will take about 5 minutes to complete.
