Medical Physics Direct Patient Care for the Improvement of Patient Understanding of Care
Medical Physics Direct Patient Care Initiative - Communication Intervention Study Protocol
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate whether the Medical Physics Direct Patient Care Initiative (MPDPCI) improves anxiety/distress.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
II. To assess whether the MPDPCI improves patient treatment adherence and overall satisfaction.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Patients receive printed materials describing the technical aspects of their treatment.
ARM II: Patients receive printed materials as in Arm I. Patients also receive a minimum of 2 direct physicist interactions to describe the technical aspects of their treatment either immediately prior to or immediately after treatment simulation.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Anxiety
Time Frame: 4 months
|
Will be assessed using linear mixed-effects models.
These objectives will be evaluated based on the difference between groups across three time points (i.e., group-effect) using the baseline corrected measurements.
Each patient will be considered as random-effects along with the repeated measurements at three time points.
The repeated measurements at three time points will be handled by autocorrelated residuals within groups.
