Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
45

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult women ( ≥18 years old)
  • Speak Spanish
  • With internet at home or smartphone
  • Currently have or have had breast cancer (currently disease-free)
  • Families/caregivers of women with breast cancer and healthcare professionals involved in breast cancer management (oncologists, gynaecologists, nurses, psycho-oncologists, etc.)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • No exclusion criteria were applied based on diagnosis date, current or past treatment, nationality, Health Literacy and Digital Health Literacy level and knowledge about Person-Centred Care or breast cancer.
  • In the assessment of the MOOC's acceptability and effectiveness, participants involved in co-creating the MOOC will be excluded.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Single-arm intervention
Co-creation with women with breast cancer, their families, and healthcare professionals of a MOOC aimed at women with breast cancer; and evaluation of the MOOC's effectiveness and acceptability.
Other: Co-creation and assessment
  1. MOOC co-creation: development of a MOOC initially structured into modules consisting of a variety of downloadable educational resources such as videos, audios, infographics, texts, etc., covering several units related to Person-Centered Care (Shared Decision-Making, strategies for managing the clinical encounter, Patient Decision Aids, etc.) and Digital Health Literacy (skills, tools, etc.). These resources will serve as the central focus of the educational intervention, and may undergo appropriate adjustments established during the co-creation sessions.
  2. MOOC acceptability and effectiveness: evaluation of the MOOC in terms of effectiveness (level of Health Literacy, Digital Health Literacy, and knowledge acquired) and acceptability (usability, areas for improvement, etc.)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Digital Health Literacy
Time Frame: Immediately after the intervention
Digital Health Literacy through the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS). It is an 8-item scale that uses a 5-point Likert scale to answer each question with response options ranging from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree", resulting in a total score ranging from 8 to 40.
Immediately after the intervention
Health Literacy
Time Frame: Immediately after the intervention
Health Literacy through the Health Literacy Survey European Questionnaire-16 items (HLS-EU-Q16). It is an abbreviated version of the Health Literacy Survey European Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q) and consists of 16 items, with each question answered by choosing one response from the options: 'very difficult', 'fairly difficult', 'fairly easy', and 'very easy' giving a total score from 16 to 64.
Immediately after the intervention
Knowledge acquired
Time Frame: Immediately after the intervention
Knowledge acquired before study each unit of the MOOC using a scale designed specifically for the study and in accordance with the content of each unit
Immediately after the intervention
Acceptability of MOOC
Time Frame: Immediately after the intervention
Acceptability (usability, areas for improvement, etc.) of the MOOC using a scale designed specifically for the study, adhering to the methodology of the technology acceptance model (TAM)
Immediately after the intervention

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
