Addressing Sexual Concerns in Breast Cancer: Patient Intervention Study

15 marzo 2021 aggiornato da: 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.

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Comparatore attivo: 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.
Comportamentale: 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.
Sperimentale: 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.
Comportamentale: 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.
Comportamentale: 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.
Nessun intervento: Clinician Arm
Clinicians were consented in order to have their clinic visits audio recorded. No outcomes data were collected from clinician participants.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Self-Reported Self-Efficacy for Communicating About Sexual Health Issues
Lasso di tempo: 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.

Lasso di tempo: 2 months
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.
2 months
Self-Reported Outcome Expectancies for Sexual Health Communication
Lasso di tempo: 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.

Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Recruitment Rates (Feasibility)
Lasso di tempo: baseline
Recruitment rates, as measured by percentage of patients enrolled (i.e., baselined) out of eligible patients approached for the study.
baseline
Retention Rates (Feasibility)
Lasso di tempo: 2 weeks
Retention rates, as measured by percentage of patients who remain on study for 2-week follow-up assessment.
2 weeks
Retention Rates (Feasibility)
Lasso di tempo: 2 months
Retention rates, as measured by percentage of patients who remain on study for 2-month follow-up assessment.
2 months
Intervention Acceptability
Lasso di tempo: 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
Lasso di tempo: 2 months
Sexual activity was measured by a single item asking (yes/no) whether the participant had any kind of sexual activity in the past 30 days.
2 months
Sexual Function
Lasso di tempo: 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.
2 months
General Self-Efficacy for Communication With Provider
Lasso di tempo: 2 months
Patients' self-efficacy for communicating with provider generally, as measured through the Perceived Efficacy in Patient-Physician Interactions Scale (PEPPI-5). The PEPPI-5 is a five-item scale that measures patient confidence in communicating with providers. Response options are on a scale from 1 (Not at All Confident) to 5 (Very Confident) and are summed for a total self-efficacy score (Range: 5-25). Higher scores indicate higher self-efficacy.
2 months
Barriers to Communicating About Sexual Health
Lasso di tempo: 2 months
Patient barriers to communication about sexual health, as measured through a 13-item scale. Scale items cover potential reasons a patient might not want to discuss sexual health concerns with her provider (e.g., "I might become embarrassed"). Items are scored on a 1-5 scale where 1=Strongly Disagree and 5=Strongly Disagree. A total barrier score will be taken from this scale (Range: 13-65). Higher scores indicate more perceived barriers to communication.
2 months
