Shared Decision Making With Breast Cancer Patients
Shared Decision Making With Breast Cancer Patients Offered Adjuvant Radiotherapy
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The risk of recurrence of breast cancer is lowered by adjuvant medical treatment as well as by radiotherapy (RT). On the other hand, all adjuvant treatments involve a risk of side effects; some are acute and transient while others are long-term. Considering the well-known side effects of irradiation, it seems appropriate to involve patients in the decision on whether to receive irradiation.
In the shared decision making (SDM) process clinicians and patients work together to make appropriate health decisions based on clinical evidence and the patient's informed preferences. A patient decision aid (PtDA) is instrumental in the SDM process.
This study is a multicenter, national trial randomizing doctors to either use or not use SDM and a PtDA when informing the patients about benefits and risks of receiving adjuvant radiotherapy.
It is not expected that significantly less patients will receive radiotherapy as a consequence of SDM. The primary aim of the study is to evaluate whether patient engagement in decision making is affected by SDM and the use of an in-consultation PtDA.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Arm A: Shared decision making
Patients will be informed by a doctor randomized to practice shared decision making and use the in-consultation PtDA during the consultation on adjuvant radiotherapy.
|
After having received training in SDM, the doctor will practice SDM supported by an in-consultation PtDA during the consultation with the participant.
|
No Intervention: Arm B: Usual practice
Patients will be informed by a doctor randomized to inform about adjuvant radiotherapy according to usual practice.
|
What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Participant engagement in the decision making process as measured by the Shared Decision Making Questionnaire 9.
Time Frame: Within one week after the consultation
|
Minimum value: 0. Maximum value: 100.
The higher the value the more patient engagement.
|
Within one week after the consultation
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
The doctor's perception of patient engagement in the decision making process as measured by the Shared Decision Making Questionnaire doctor 9
Time Frame: Within one week after the consultation
|
Minimum value: 0. Maximum value: 100.
The higher the value the more patient engagement.

Within one week after the consultation
|
The participant's fear of cancer recurrence as measured by the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Short form Questionnaire
Time Frame: Within one week after the consultation and again after six months
|
Minimum value: 0. Maximum value: 36.

|
The participant's engagement in the decision making process as measured by the Shared Decision Making Process 4 questionnaire
Time Frame: Within one week after the consultation
|
Minimum score: 0. Maximum score: 4. The higher the score the more patient engagement.

Time Frame: Before (12 items) and within one week after the consultation (all 16 items)
|
Minimum value: 0. Maximum value: 100.
The higher the value the more effective decision making.
|
Before (12 items) and within one week after the consultation (all 16 items)

Time Frame: Six months after the consultation
|
Minimum value: 0. Maximum value: 100.
The higher the value the more regret.
|
Six months after the consultation
|
The participant's engagement in the decision making process as measured by the CollaboRATE questionnaire
Time Frame: Within one week after the consultation
|
Minimum score: 0. Maximum score: 9.
The higher the value the more patient engagement.
|
Within one week after the consultation
|
The participant's quality of life as measured by the EORCT QLQ-C30 (version 3.0) questionnaire, only question 29 + 30
Time Frame: Six months
