NCT ID: NCT05842083 Active, not recruiting - Oncology Clinical Trials

On-site Supportive Communication Training in Doctor-patient Communication

Start date: May 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this randomized, controlled clinical trial is to test a new concept for communication skills training (on-site supportive communication training (on-site SCT) in cancer care. The study aims to determine the impact of on-site SCT on patients' rating of oncologists' communication abilities. Oncologists participating in the study will be randomly allocated to the intervention or control group. In the intervention group each doctor will have a total of three intervention days at intervals of 3-4 weeks. On an intervention day, a psychologist will sit in and observe doctor-patient consultations. After the first consultations, 30 minutes are allocated for feedback to the doctor by the psychologist. After the last consultation of the day, 60 minutes are allocated for thorough feedback and establishment of learning goals to focus on until the next intervention day. Doctor's in the control group will conduct communication as usual. Researchers will compare the control and intervention groups to see if patients' rating of doctors' interpersonal and communication skills increase when the doctors have participated in on-site SCT. The 15-item Communication Assessment Tool (CAT) will be used. It will also be investigated whether on-site SCT increases the doctors' rating of themselves in relation to communication efficacy and job satisfaction and decrease their experience of burnout.

Breaking Bad News Skills of Doctors and Residents in the Surgical Setting

Start date: March 16, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Breaking bad news is a very stressful and difficult situation for health care professionals, especially clinical doctors and surgeons. Acquiring skills for this sort of communication is very important due to the large volume of times that these professionals will have to deal with it and because it can affect the doctor-patient relationship forever. The objective of this study is to evaluate the skill of surgeons and residents in surgical specialties in breaking bad news to patients and families across Spanish hospitals. This will be done by analyzing the subjects in terms of their knowledge and experience using a specialized questionnaire based on breaking bad news protocol, designed in the "Hospital Sant Joan de Déu" Children's hospital in Barcelona.

NCT ID: NCT03905278 Completed - Parenting Clinical Trials

Parental Support Intervention in the Oncological Context

Start date: September 8, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Cancer has a significant short and long-term impact on the family. Children of cancer patients may suffer from emotional, behavioral or somatic difficulties. Following the cancer diagnosis, many parents report being concerned about the impact of the illness on their children and how to communicate about the illness. In addition, they feel less able to meet the needs of their children and have difficulties regulating their emotions in response to their children's reactions. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was designed to assess the efficacy of a parental guidance intervention centered on communication with children in the context of a parental cancer. This psychological intervention is designed to help parents and significant caregivers of the children. The participants are randomly assigned to either an intervention group (experimental group) or a waiting list group (control group). The participants fill out self reported questionnaires that assess the parental self-efficacy in communication, mutual social support, communicational behaviors' with children, parenting concerns,communicational difficulties with children, knowledges about communication with children in oncological context, socio-demographical status, medical situation, psychiatric history, social difficulties and emotional state of the participants and children. The semi-structured interview with participants assesses their day to day communication with the children and the difficulties related to this communication. Those questionnaires are completed at baseline and post treatment (experimental group) and 9 weeks after baseline (control group). This parental guidance consists of a weekly 4-session intervention. The aim of the sessions are to provide child support in the oncological context, mainly through communication. Discussion: This parental guidance would lead to improvements in knowledge, communication, parental self-efficacy and emotional regulation associated with child support.

NCT ID: NCT03723122 Completed - Cancer Clinical Trials

Efficacy of a Dyadic Cancer-related Communication Reinforcement Intervention

Start date: July 3, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: To face cancer-related stress, patients and caregivers activate individual and dyadic coping responses. Opened communication, adequate involvement, reciprocal supportive roles, self-disclosure and responsiveness enhance dyadic coping. Nevertheless, little is known about the optimal content of dyadic interventions designed to improve dyadic communication. Methods: A randomized controlled trail was designed to assess the efficacy of a dyadic intervention centered on a cancer-related communication reinforcement. Patient-caregiver dyads are randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a waiting list group. Patients and caregivers complete self-reported scales that assessed emotional distress, individual coping, cancer-related dyadic communication frequency, satisfaction, self-efficacy and coping at baseline and post-treatment (intervention group), or 6 weeks after baseline (waiting list group). This dyadic communication reinforcement intervention (DCRI) consists of a weekly 4-session intervention. This intervention includes specific communication tasks aiming the improvement of some cancer-related dyadic communication competencies such as concerns disclosure and request for support. Discussion: DCRI would lead to improvements in cancer-related dyadic communication self-efficacy, cancer-related dyadic communication satisfaction and dyadic coping.
