Enhancing Triadic Communication About Cognition for Older Adults With Alzheimer's Disease or Related Dementias Facing a Cancer Management Decision (COACH-Cog)
March 8, 2024 updated by: Allison Magnuson, University of Rochester
Building upon prior work, the investigator team developed a communication intervention for older adults with ADRD who are considering a decision about cancer management (adapted intervention: COACH-Cog).
The investigators hypothesize that for patients with dual diagnoses of ADRD and cancer, COACH-Cog will increase autonomy support of care partners and patients in the decision-making process, leading to greater acknowledgement and support of cognitive concerns and cognitive-related goals, thereby improving goal concordant care.
The investigators are conducting a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT; cluster randomized by physician) including approximately 45 oncology clinicians and 130 patient/care partner dyads evaluating the effect of COACH-Cog on care partner and patient autonomy support, care partner well-being, goal-concordance, and communication.

Description
PATIENTS:
Patient Inclusion Criteria:

No Intervention: Usual Care

Experimental: COACH-Cog Intervention
Oncology clinician intervention components: 1) a brief training video, 2) For each patient/care partner dyad that is subsequently enrolled onto the study that the clinician cares for, the oncology clinician will receive the results of the patient's GA with targeted management recommendations for identified GA domain impairments.
Patient/Care partner dyad intervention components: 1) Communication coaching session; 2) Patient GA results with management recommendations to consider discussing with the oncology team will be provided to care partners and patients.

Oncology clinician intervention components: 1) a brief training video (completed once during the duration of the study following enrollment and randomization), 2) For each patient/care partner dyad that is subsequently enrolled onto the study that the clinician cares for, the oncology clinician will receive the results of the patient's GA with targeted management recommendations for identified GA domain impairments Patient/Care partner dyad intervention components: 1) Care partners (and patients if able) will participate in a one-time communication coaching session; 2) Patient GA results with management recommendations to consider discussing with the oncology team will be provided to care partners and patients.
