Interactive Decision Aid for Men Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer
Developing and Testing an Interactive Decision Aid for Newly Diagnosed Prostate Cancer Patients
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in the western world (National Cancer Institute, 2011). Prostate cancer diagnosis relates to significant psychological distress (Roesch et al, 2005; Hervouet et al, 2005). The management options available for men with localized prostate cancer typically offer similar survival rate and one treatment has not been determined more effective than other. Variance in severity, duration and frequency of side effects between treatments is considerable (National Cancer Institute, 2011). This can make the choice between management options challenging and distressing. Researches show that patients that are actively involved and provided with sufficient information have better health outcomes (Stewart, 1995).
The study involves implementing interactive, web-based decision-aid to assist men with localized prostate cancer with their decision regarding their prostate cancer management options. Participants will be randomized to standard-care (SC) and SC + interactive decision-aid (IDA). The SC group will meet with their urologist and receive and information brochure. In addition the IDA group will receive a website that includes a wealth of information (e.g., overview about prostate cancer, overview of different treatment options, pros and cons of different treatment options and a value clarification exercise that is designed to assist participants to weigh the risks and benefits of each prostate cancer management option).
The effectiveness of the intervention will be evaluated with questionnaires administered prior to randomization (baseline) and then again two weeks, one, three and six months after the randomization.
Aim 1. Evaluate the relative impact of SC versus SC + IDA on medical decision making. It is hypothesized that participants randomized to the SC + IDA arms will have improved decision making (e.g., reduced decisional conflict) and psychosocial outcomes (e.g., distress), compared to those randomized to SC only.
Aim 2. Identify mechanisms by which the interventions impact patient outcomes. It is hypothesized that: 1) improved decision making and psychosocial outcomes for the IDA arms will be mediated by increased knowledge; 2) participants who are undecided about the treatment decision and those that have information-seeking decision styles will benefit most from the decision-aid interventions.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in decisional conflict over time
Time Frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
The Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) is a measure that was designed to evaluate health-care-consumer decisions.
It is a 16-item measure and the answers range from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree" on a five point Likert scale.
Scores on DCS range from 0 to 100, were higher score indicate greater decisional conflict.
It has test-retest reliability of 0.81 and internal consistency ranges from α=.0.78 to 0.92.
|
Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
Change in decisional regret over time
Time Frame: 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
The Decision Regret Scale (DRS) measures regret after health care decision.
It is a 5-item measure and the answers range from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree" on a five point Likert scale.
Scores on DRS range from 0 to 100, were higher score indicate more regret after health care decision.
It has good internal consistency that ranges from α=.0.81 to 0.92.
|
2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
Change in satisfaction with decision over time
Time Frame: 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
The Satisfaction with Decision Scale (SWDS) measures satisfaction with health care decision.
It is a 5-item measure and the answers range from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree" on a five point Likert scale.
Scores on SWDS range from 5 to 25, were higher score indicate more satisfaction with a decision.The scale has good internal consistency (α=.0.86).
|
2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
Change in anxiety over time
Time Frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
The Generalized Anxiety Disorder - 7 (GAD-7) is a 7-item measure used to screen for general anxiety disorder and to measure its severity.
It is also a good screening tool for social anxiety disorder, panic disorder and post traumatic stress disorder.
Response options range from "not at all" to "several days" on a 4-point Likert scale.
GAD-7 total score ranges from 0 to 21, were higher score indicates more severe anxiety.
It has excellent internal consistency (α = 0.92).
|
Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
Change in depression over time
Time Frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is a widely used and well validated measure used to screen for depression and assess severity of it.
It is a 9-item scale and answers are on 4-point Likert scale ranging from "not at all" to "nearly every day".
PHQ-9 total score ranges from 0 to 27, were higher score indicates more severe depression.
PHQ-9 has been shown to be a reliable and valid measure.
|
Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
Change in Stress over time
Time Frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) is a 10-item scale used to measure stress.
Each item on the list is rated on a five point Likert scale ranging from "never" to "very often".
PSS-10 total score ranges from 0 to 40, were higher score indicates higher perceived stress.
The PSS has adequate reliability and validity.
|
Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
Change in Stress over time
Time Frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
The NCCN Distress Thermometer and checklist is a widely used screening measure for distress in cancer patients.
It consists of a distress thermometer where participants assess their distress on a scale from 0 to 10, were 0 indicates no distress and 10 extreme distress.
Additionally participants answer a problem checklist with several domains to identify what area of life distresses the participant.
|
Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
Change in Cancer related Stress over time
Time Frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
The Impact of events scale-revised (IES-R) is a widely used questionnaire that measures trauma related stress, that is cancer specific distress.
It is a 22-item measure that includes three factors; avoidance, hyper arousal and intrusion.
Those factors together form a cancer-specific distress measure and the higher the score on the scale suggest more distress.
Total score range from 0 to 88.
The IES-R has high internal consistency and test-retest reliability ranges from 0.51-0.94.
|
Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Control preference
Time Frame: Baseline
|
The control preference scale (CPS) assesses the patient's preferred role in the decision-making process.
It measures how people with life-threatening illnesses make treatment decisions.
It measures the degree of control a person wants to have when making a medical treatment management decision.The scale is a single item and displays five possible roles of patient in decision making, that is fully passive, semi-passive, collaborative, semi-active and fully active.

Baseline
|
Localized Prostate cancer knowledge
Time Frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
|
The localized prostate cancer knowledge scale is a 9-item list that assesses participants knowledge of localized prostate cancer and prostate cancer management options.
The scale was developed for this study based on method used by Berger, Grønberg, Loge, Kaasa and Sand (2018).
Total score range from 0 to 9, were higher score indicates better knowledge of localized prostate cancer and prostate cancer management options.
