Addressing Sexual Concerns in Breast Cancer: Patient Intervention Study

15 de marzo de 2021 actualizado por: Fox Chase Cancer Center

Enhancing Patient-Provider Communication About Sexual Concerns in Breast Cancer: Patient Intervention Study

The goal of this study is to evaluate an educational video intervention (called Starting the Conversation) aimed to enhance breast cancer patients' beliefs about and communication with respect to sexual concerns. In the current study, 128 breast cancer outpatients will be randomized to either participate in the video intervention and to receive a resource guide addressing sexual and menopausal health or to receive the resource guide alone. Patients will be asked to participate in the video and/or read through the resource guide prior to their clinic visit with their breast cancer provider. The investigators will examine effects of the interventions on patients' beliefs about communication about sexual health and on patients' communication about sexual health during clinic visits with their providers. Secondarily, the investigators will examine effects of the interventions on sexual outcomes and other health outcomes, including psychological well-being and health-related QOL.

Armas e Intervenciones

Grupo de participantes/brazo
Intervención / Tratamiento
Comparador activo: Resources Only
Patients will receive a list of resources on sexual and menopausal health in breast cancer. They will be asked to review the resources before their next clinic visit.
Conductual: Sexual and Menopausal Health Resources
Patients will receive a resource list that includes both web-based resources on menopausal and sexual health and center-specific resources, such as contact information for a menopausal & sexual health clinic.
Experimental: Resources + Video
Patients will receive a list of web resources on sexual and menopausal health in breast cancer. In addition to the resources, patients will be asked to view an online video called "Starting the Conversation" and to complete an accompanying workbook. Patients in this arm will be asked to review the resource list, watch the Starting the Conversation video, and complete the workbook before their next clinic visit.
Conductual: Sexual and Menopausal Health Resources
Patients will receive a resource list that includes both web-based resources on menopausal and sexual health and center-specific resources, such as contact information for a menopausal & sexual health clinic.
Conductual: Starting the Conversation Video
The Starting the Conversation program is designed to increase self-efficacy and outcome expectancies for communicating with providers about sexual health and related issues, reduce barriers to communication, and provide basic training in skills for communicating with providers about these topics, including prioritizing concerns, tips for effective communication, communication practice, and self-feedback.
Sin intervención: Clinician Arm
Clinicians were consented in order to have their clinic visits audio recorded. No outcomes data were collected from clinician participants.

Medidas de resultado primarias

Medida Descripción
Periodo de tiempo
Self-Reported Self-Efficacy for Communicating About Sexual Health Issues
Periodo de tiempo: 2 weeks
Two items assessed patients' self-efficacy (confidence) for communicating with their breast cancer clinician about sexual health concerns in terms of either talking (item 1) or asking (item 2) about sexual health. Response options used an 11-point scale (0=not at all confident/not at all to 10=extremely confident/very much). Mean scores across the two items were used, ranging from 0-10. Higher scores indicate higher self-efficacy.

Response options used an 11-point scale (0=not at all confident/not at all to 10=extremely confident/very much). Mean scores across the two items were used, ranging from 0-10. Higher scores indicate higher self-efficacy.
2 months
Self-Reported Outcome Expectancies for Sexual Health Communication
Periodo de tiempo: 2 weeks
Five items assessed the belief that discussing sexual health with her breast cancer clinician would lead to positive outcomes (e.g., "find a solution to a problem"). Response options used an 11-point scale (0=not at all to 10=very much). Mean scores across the five items were used, ranging from 0-10. Higher scores indicate higher expectancies for positive outcomes.

Intervention Acceptability
Periodo de tiempo: 2 weeks
Acceptability of intervention, as measured through the item "Overall, how satisfied were you with this program?". Responses options include Very Satisfied, Satisfied, Dissatisfied, and Very Dissatisfied. Responses of "satisfied" or "very satisfied" indicate acceptability. Number of patients reporting acceptability and number of patients not reporting acceptability are presented.
2 weeks
Sexual Activity
Periodo de tiempo: 2 months

Sexual Function
Periodo de tiempo: 2 months
Sexual function was assessed using the Lubrication, Vaginal Discomfort, Satisfaction, and Interest domain scores from the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sexual Function and Satisfaction scale (PROMIS SexFS) Brief Profile Version 2.0. Scores are converted to a T-score metric where a score of 50 equates to the mean of the U.S. population of sexually active adults (SD=10). Higher scores for all domains except Vaginal Discomfort signify better function.
