Testing of an Educational Tool for Patients With Melanoma and Pre-Existing Autoimmune Disease Who Are Candidates for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
Testing of an Educational Tool for Patients With Melanoma and Concomitant Autoimmune Disease Who Are Candidates for Adjuvant Therapy With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: Acceptability and Usability With Patients and Providers
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the acceptability (e.g., ease of use, design, accessibility, content) of the educational tool that will be developed for patients with melanoma and pre-existing autoimmune conditions considering or undergoing treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
II. To test the usability in real world-settings of the educational tool (to be developed) and evaluate feasibility of patient recruitment (i.e., ability to identify enough patients and consent at least 50% of the identified patients) in a pilot study.
OUTLINE:
PART A: Participants navigate the educational tool over 30-45 minutes then participate in an interview about their thoughts and opinions about the content, ease of use, and format of the tool over 45 minutes.
PART B: 2 group of participants will be evaluated sequentially (Participants in group II will be enrolled after all the participants in group I have been assessed).
GROUP I: Patients receive standard educational information during their clinician encounter. Patients also complete questionnaires over 30-45 minutes at baseline within a week prior to their clinician encounter, immediately after the encounter, and at 3 months.
GROUP II: Patients navigate educational tool over 20 minutes during their clinician encounter. Patients also complete questionnaires over 30-45 minutes at baseline within a week prior to their clinician encounter, immediately after the encounter, and at 3 months.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Decisional conflict scale
Time Frame: Up to 4 years
|
The scale will be used to assess personal perceptions of 1) uncertainty in choosing among options; 2) modifiable factors contributing to uncertainty, such as feeling uninformed, and 3) feeling that the choice is values-based and likely to be implemented.
|
Up to 4 years
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Knowledge
Time Frame: Up to 3 months
|
Will be assessed using a questionnaire developed by the research team covering various content areas, including general information about immune checkpoint inhibitors and the associated adverse effects and benefits of the treatments.
|
Up to 3 months
|
Acceptability
Time Frame: Immediately after the clinical encounter
|
A standard assessment questionnaire will be used to obtain users' ratings of various features of the educational tool, including ease of use, presentation, usefulness and satisfaction.
The items in the questionnaire come from the Ottawa Acceptability Measures.
|
Immediately after the clinical encounter
|
Usability
Time Frame: Immediately after the clinical encounter
|
A standard assessment questionnaire will be used to obtain users' ratings of various features of the educational tool, including ease of use, presentation, usefulness and satisfaction.
The items in the questionnaire come from the Ottawa Acceptability Measures.
|
Immediately after the clinical encounter
|
Depression
Time Frame: Up to 3 months
|
Will be assessed using the Depression and Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS).
The DASS is a 21-item self report instrument designed to measure the three related negative emotional states of depression, anxiety and tension/stress.
The Depression scale assesses dysphoria, hopelessness, devaluation of life, self-deprecation, lack of interest/involvement, anhedonia, and inertia
|
Up to 3 months
|
Anxiety
Time Frame: Up to 3 months
|
Will be assessed using the DASS.
The DASS is a 21-item self report instrument designed to measure the three related negative emotional states of depression, anxiety and tension/stress.
The Anxiety scale assesses autonomic arousal, skeletal muscle effects, situational anxiety, and subjective experience of anxious affect.
|
Up to 3 months
|
Stress
Time Frame: Up to 3 months
|
Will be assessed using the DASS.
The DASS is a 21-item self report instrument designed to measure the three related negative emotional states of depression, anxiety and tension/stress.
The Stress scale is sensitive to levels of chronic non-specific arousal.
It assesses difficulty relaxing, nervous arousal, and being easily upset/agitated, irritable/over-reactive and impatient.
|
Up to 3 months
|
CollaboRATE measure
Time Frame: Immediately after the clinical encounter
|
The CollaboRATE questions ask about the effort made to help patients understand their health issues, listen to what matters most to them, and include what matters most to them in choosing what to do next.
|
Immediately after the clinical encounter
|
Shared decision-making process survey
Time Frame: Immediately after the clinical encounter
|
This instrument measures the extent to which health care providers engage patients in shared decision making.
Items are focused on four specific behaviors that are critical for shared decision making -discussion of options, pros, cons and preferences.
|
Immediately after the clinical encounter
|
Patient's perception of usefulness of the tool
Time Frame: Immediately after the clinical encounter
|
Will use the Preparation for Decision Making Scale (Prep-DM) to assess the patients' perception of how useful the educational tool is in preparing them to communicate with their practitioner at a consultation.
It is a 10-item scale developed to evaluate decision processes relating to the preparation of patients for decision making and dialoguing with their practitioners.
