Clinical Trial Summary

To compare the effectiveness of an interactive mobile chatbot and traditional decision aid booklets to enhance informed decisions made by cataract patients. The chatbot was built based on large language models, and could generate ChatGPT-level responses.


Description:

Cataract surgery is the only way to treat age-related cataract. For patients at early or moderate stages, cataract surgery is an elective surgery without objective indications. Therefore, patients are uaually not aware whether they should receive the surgery or not. In clinical practice, traditional Patient Decision Aids (PDA) booklets are used to provide health education to patients. However, PDAs lack real-time interaction with patients, and are unable to answer the new questions raised. Patients still have doubts about whether they should receive cataract surgery or not. In this study, the investigators aim to assess the effectiveness of an interactive Q&A mobile application based on natural language processing technology to enhance informed decisions made by cataract patients.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in Informed choice about cataract surgery (the proportion of participants who make an informed choice,which is defined as a good knowledge score and an intention that is consistent with their attitude score) Informed choice is an aggregated measure of multiple measurements, including:
Knowledge (a 12-item questionnaire that assesses conceptual knowledge of cataract and cataract surgery). Questions with right answers will earn 1 point otherwise 0 point. Each participant may get 12 points maximally and 0 point minimally.
Attitudes (6 items, with 5 responses for each. Each response will earn 0-4 points respectively);
Intentions (single item with 5 responses. Each response will earn 0-4 points respectively).
Higher scores indicate a better knowledge on informed choice of cataract surgery.
2 weeks post intervention
Secondary Decisional conflict Decisional conflict will be assessed using a 16-item Decisional Conflict Scale. Each item has 5 responses. Each response will earn 0-4 points respectively. Lower scores indicate a stronger ability to decide wheter or not receiving a cataract surgery. 2 weeks post intervention
Secondary Decisional confidence Decisional confidence will be assessed using a 11-item Decision Self Efficacy Scale. Each item has 5 responses. Each response will earn 0-4 points respectively. Higher scores indicate the paricipant is more confident about his/her decision. 2 weeks post intervention
Secondary Time perspective This will be assessed using a 4-item short form of the Consideration of Future Consequences Scale, with five response categories ranging from strongly agree (4 points) to strongly disagree (0 point). Higher scores indicate more consideration of future consequences by the participants. 2 weeks post intervention
Secondary Anticipated regret Two items from a validated scale will measure anticipated regret about having cataract surgery (action regret, 4 points) and about not having cataract (inaction regret, 0 point). Higher scores indicate higher probability of anticipated regret after the surgery. 2 weeks post intervention
Secondary Cataract worry A validated single item will measure participants' level of worry about progression of cataract, using four verbal response categories ranging from not worried at all to very worried. There are five response categories ranging from strongly agree (3 points) to strongly disagree (0 point). Higher scores indicate more worried about the disease status. 2 weeks post intervention
Secondary Cataract anxiety Anxiety will be measured with a six-item short form.A validated single item will measure participants' level of worry about progression of cataract, using four verbal response categories ranging from not worried at all to very worried. Each question has five response categories ranging from strongly agree (3 points) to strongly disagree (0 point). Higher scores indicate more anxious about the disease status. 2 weeks post intervention
Secondary Perceived importance of surgical benefit/harms Purpose-developed items will be used to ask participants about their personal perceptions of the importance of specific outcomes in their decision-making about cataract surgery. The questionare contains 2 items with 5 responses. Each response will earn 0-4 points respectively). Higher scores indicate a better knowledge on the understanding of importance of surgical benefit/harms. 2 weeks post intervention
Secondary Perceived importance of surgical benefit/harms Purpose-developed items will be used to ask participants about their personal perceptions of the importance of specific outcomes in their decision-making about cataract surgery. The questionnaire contains 2 items, each with 5 responses14. Each response will earn 0-4 points respectively). Higher scores indicate a better knowledge on the understanding of importance of surgical benefit/harms. Time Frame: 2 weeks post intervention
