简要总结
The goal of this research is to explore how a patient decision aid tool (website) given to patients prior to their survivorship care visits, may impact patient-provider communication about fertility and family-building after cancer; and assess the impact of using the tool on patient reported outcomes. The overall purpose of this research is to improve survivorship care by establishing a multi-disciplinary approach to managing cancer and fertility issues and prompt early referral to supportive and medical care resources.
详细描述
Objective 1: Establish feasibility and acceptability of conducting research with YA-F cancer survivors at the Stanford Cancer Institute (SCI) and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital (LPCH).
Hypothesis 1: Study procedures will be feasible in the given timeframe and acceptable to patients, as evidence by recruitment, enrollment, and completion rates and participant feedback.
Objective 2: Evaluate the impact of using the tool as a part of survivorship care on patient reported outcomes (PROs; i.e., information needs, fertility distress, decision-making uncertainty, and satisfaction with care).
Hypothesis 2: In a single-arm pilot study (N=20), use of the decision aid tool will lead to improvements in fertility distress, decision-making uncertainty, and satisfaction with care.

结局指标
主要结局
Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS)
时间窗: 6 weeks
The Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) is a validated survey that assesses personal uncertainty in making healthcare decisions; modifiable factors contributing to uncertainty; and the quality of the decision made. It is reliable and responsive to change, and the most widely used measure of decision-making quality. The survey has 16 questions, with responses on a 5-point scale ranging from "strongly agree" (1) to "strongly disagree" (5). Total scores range from 16 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater uncertainty (worse outcome). The outcome will be reported as the mean difference from baseline to 4-week and 6-week follow-up time points, with standard deviation.
