Insights From Bereaved Parents and Oncologists
Foundations of Communication in Uncertainty Study (FOCUS): Insights From Bereaved Parents and Oncologists
調査の概要
状態
条件
詳細な説明
Primary Objective
- To characterize how bereaved parents of children with cancer and their child's oncologist perceive their experience with communication about prognostic uncertainty during the child's cancer journey and during bereavement.
Secondary Objective
- To elicit parents' and oncologists' preferences and recommendations for how clinicians should talk with children and families about prognosis in the setting of uncertainty.
This study aims to explore bereaved parents' and oncologists' reflections on communication about prognostic uncertainty during the child's cancer treatment. Parents who have lost a child to cancer and the doctors who treated them will be invited to join this study.
Participants who opt to participate in the study will engage in an audio recorded semi-structured interview with a researcher, virtually or in person (at their discretion) to share their perspectives and recommendations based on their experience. Throughout the interview, the interviewer has the option to ask additional questions (i.e., probe with questions not in the interview guide) to respond to comments made by the participant and honor the topics of interest to that given participant. The participant will be provided an opportunity to add any details or comments at the end of the interview if he/she would like to share additional information.
Following completion of the qualitative portion of the interview, the researcher will ask the participant several questions from a demographic form. The demographic form will include questions related to participant age, race/ethnicity, state/country of residence for bereaved parents, and years of clinical practice for oncologists.

The analysis plan for this study is to apply reflexive thematic analysis as described by Braun and Clarke, involving the following six step process: 1. Familiarization with the data, 2. Generating initial codes, 3. Generating initial themes, 4. Reviewing themes, 5. Refining, defining, and naming themes, 6. Writing up a narrative of results. Investigators will conduct individual interviews with participants and code transcripts independently to identify salient themes from each cohort, subsequently compare codes across cohorts to explore and characterize areas of convergence and divergence and use a matrix approach to facilitate this comparative analysis. Interviews will be recorded, transcribed, and de-identified prior to analysis. MAXQDA, a sophisticated qualitative analysis software system, will be used to conduct and synthesize analysis. |
Approximately 1-3 weeks after enrollment.
