Clinical Trial Summary

Shared Decision Making on Care Pathways and alternative and complementary medicine (CAMs) : A Pilot Study. Study whose aim is to evaluate the feasibility of a study proposing a therapeutic education consultation leaning on the usual care pathway by estimating the recruitment capacity over 4 months as well as the acceptance rate of the study among patients diagnosed with breast cancer.


Description:

The use of alternative and complementary medicine (CAMs) has been steadily increasing for several years. Certain populations are more likely than others to use this type of care, including breast cancer patients, for whom the rate of use is close to 90%. However, these populations are those for whom the risks associated with this type of care are the highest. In addition, patients rarely discuss alternative and complementary medicine (CAMs) with conventional care teams. As a result, patients often place unreasonable expectations on alternative and complementary medicine (CAMs) and at the same time put themselves in risky situations. The aim of this project is to help breast cancer patients better orient themselves in their care pathway and in particular with regard to the plethora of alternative and complementary medicine (CAMs) available. They could therefore make an informed decision to seek (or not) treatment. In order to reach a shared decision, a consultation will be offered to patients with the objective of discussing their past recourse, their knowledge of the care pathway, their fears and their aspirations with regard to alternative and complementary medicine (CAM). Epistemological concepts (self-efficacy, placebo, benefit-risk ratio, etc.) will be discussed in order to allow these elements to be transposed throughout their care. The impact of this consultation on compliance with conventional treatment, satisfaction with the treatment as a whole and communication with the rest of the health care team will be evaluated. A before/after methodology will first allow us to evaluate the values taken by our judgement criteria in the usual care pathway and then in the innovative care pathway proposed by the intervention. This study will allow us to establish the feasibility of a future research project of larger scale.

Study Design


Intervention

Other:
alternative medicine education consultation
The intervention will consist in a 1h30 individual consultation with a GP physician. Patients will be able to ask any questions they have regarding treatments for their breast cancer delivered outside of the hospital. Topics such as benefit-risk ratios, placebo effects and expectancies from CAM will be discussed with the patients. This consultation will promote a shared-decision model to help patients better discuss these matters with their healthcare providers.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Feasibility of a study proposing a therapeutic education consultation linked to the usual course of care The investigators wish know the recruitment capacity in this study. To do this, the investigators will estimate the number of people included over 8 months (time of recruitment in the study). 8 month
Secondary Evaluate literacy in the care pathway. "Health Literacy Questionnaire" (HLQ) at 6 month post intervention. Questionnaire contains 2 parts : P1 with 23 questions, and P2 with 21 questions.
Coding:
P1Q1 to P1Q23
Strongly Disagree = 1
Disagree = 2
Agree = 3
Strongly Agree = 4
P2Q1 to P2Q21
Cannot do or always difficult, = 1
Usually difficult = 2
Sometimes difficult = 3
Usually easy = 4
Always easy = 5
The HLQ consists of 9 scales representing 9 dimensions of health literacy. Each HLQ scale has 4-6 items. The HLQ does not provide one overall summative score. The scoring of the HLQ is 9 scale scores, calculated by averaging the item scores within each scale with equal weighting. The 9 scale scores will reflect a person's strengths and needs in the different dimensions of health literacy.
For Scales 1 to 5, the score range is between 1 and 4 For Scales 6 to 9, the score range is between 1 and 5
inclusion, 6 month
Secondary Satisfaction with improvement in orientation to the care pathway To assess the HQL (Health Literacy Questionnaire) Minimal Clinically Interesting Difference at 6 months after the intervention.
The investigators wish to assess the Minimal Clinically Interesting Difference at 6 months after the intervention by comparing the response about the satisfaction with improvement in orientation to the care pathway (0: No improvement, 1 : Slight improvement, 2 : Good improvement, 3 : Excellent improvement) " to the HLQ dimensions of interest.
6 month
Secondary Success in orienting to the care pathway The investigators wish to assess PALS by comparing the response to the question "Do you feel able to learn about services and supports to ensure that all your health needs are met? ( YES/NO)" to the HLQ dimensions of interest.
PALS will be binary, either patients feel able to orient themselves in the care pathway or they do not feel able to do so
inclusion, 6 month
Secondary Assess satisfaction with the current care pathway Bilateral 6-item Likert scale at 6 months after surgery (-3: very dissatisfied to +3 very satisfied ) 6 month
Secondary Collect the patient experience Semi-directive interview conducted at 6 months after the intervention. This interview will be carried out only for some patients of the study until data saturation. 6 month
Secondary To assess patient adherence, patient believes in the mechanics of TACs operation. CHBQ questionnaire completed at inclusion (pre-intervention) and at 6 months (post-intervention by the patient.
This questionnaire is composed of 10 propositions. The total score varies between 10 (total disagreement with all the proposals) and 70 (total agreement with all the proposals). The authors suggest that above the median score of 40, the respondent has a positive attitude towards TACs and conversely a negative attitude towards TACs for a score below 40.
inclusion, 6 month
Secondary To assess co-variance between oncologist and patient beliefs in TACs operating mechanisms CHBQ questionnaire completed by the oncologist at the beginning of the study (before the start of the inclusion).
This questionnaire is composed of 10 propositions. The total score varies between 10 (total disagreement with all the proposals) and 70 (total agreement with all the proposals). The authors suggest that above the median score of 40, the respondent has a positive attitude towards TACs and conversely a negative attitude towards TACs for a score below 40.
Inclusion
Secondary To assess the use of TACs If individuals have used TACs, then they are offered a simplified and adapted version of the CAMP-Q (Complementary and Alternative Medicine Practitioner Use Questionnaire) completed at inclusion and 6 months after the intervention by the patient.
This questionnaire includes 49 questions and the objective will be to evaluate if the patient has used one or more alternative medicines (1) or no alternative medicine (0). It don't have a rating
inclusion, 6 month
Secondary To assess satisfaction with TACs Bilateral 6-item Likert scale (-3: very dissatisfied to +3 very satisfied) at baseline and 6 months after the procedure ONLY if at least one complementary alternative technique was checked in answer n°1 of the CAMP Q questionnaire.
This is to have a before and after evaluation.
inclusion, 6 month
Secondary To assess satisfaction with oncology care. Two-sided 6-item Likert scale (-3: very dissatisfied to +3 very satisfied ) at 6 months post intervention. These goals are only evaluated for patients in the AFTER group 6 month
Secondary Assess patient satisfaction with the procedure. Two-way 6-item Likert scale (-3: very dissatisfied to +3 very satisfied ) evaluated after the intervention and at 6 months. This objective is only evaluated for patients in the AFTER group After intervention, 6 month
Secondary Assess patient recommendation of the intervention Two-way Likert scale with 4 items (-2 not at all agree to +2 completely agree ) evaluated after the intervention and at 6 months. This objective is only evaluated for patients in the AFTER group After intervention, 6 month
