This trial studies how well information materials work in helping communication between physicians and participants with cancer that has spread to other places in the body and their caregivers. Approaches that encourage participants to actively participate and ask appropriate questions during their visit may be important to enhance their understanding of their illness and empower them to make important decisions regarding their medical care.

Primary | Patients' perception of helpfulness (0-10 scale) in communicating with their physicians after the first consultation visit | Standard statistics including mean, standard deviation, median, range, frequency and percentage will be summarized for variables of interest, such as patients' demographics, clinical characteristics, anxiety state, patients'/caregivers' views about the information material, patients' satisfaction, physicians' views about the information material and consultation, patients' preferences for information, patient preferences for level of involvement in decision-making and patients' overall preference between the question prompt sheet (QPS) and the general information sheet (GIS) at the follow-up visit. Two sample t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test, whichever appropriate, will be used to compare continuous variables of interest between the QPS and the GIS. Chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test, whichever appropriate, will be used to test for associations between categorical variables and helpfulness of information material. | Up to 3 years | |
Secondary | Caregivers' perception of helpfulness in communicating with their physicians | Sample t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test, whichever appropriate, will be used. | Up to 3 years | |
Secondary | Patients'/caregivers' overall satisfaction with the consultation | Sample t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test, whichever appropriate, will be used. | Up to 3 years | |
Secondary | Physician's view/overall satisfaction about the information material | Sample t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test, whichever appropriate, will be used. | Up to 3 years | |
Secondary | Change in patient anxiety state scores before and after consultation between the QPS and the GIS | Sample t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test, whichever appropriate, will be used. | Baseline up to 6 weeks | |
Secondary | Average speaking time of patient or physician during the consultation visit affected by QPS | Two sample t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test, whichever appropriate, will be used to compare the average speaking time of patient or physician during the consultation visit. Also, general linear model will be applied to assess the effect of QPS on the average speaking time adjusting for clinically and/or statistically important factors. | Up to 3 years | |
Secondary | Demographic and clinical predictors of patients' perception of helpfulness of a QPS | Univariate/multicovariate logistic regression will be used to evaluate patients' demographic and clinical factors on patients' perception of helpfulness of QPS when dichotomizing the answer to the question 3 in the Patient/Caregiver Assessment Questionnaire ("Agree/Strongly Agree"=Helpful versus the rest). | Up to 3 years | |
Secondary | Overall patients' preference between the QPS and GIS in an open label phase | Will estimate the preference of information material with 95% confidence intervals. Also, univariate/multicovariate logistic regression will be used to evaluate patients' demographic and clinical factors on overall patients' preference between QPS and GIS. | Up to 3 years |
