The Personal Patient Profile Decision Support for Patients With Bladder Cancer
Sponsor: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Summary
There is a pressing need to develop a personalized, value-based decisional tool for bladder cancer patients undergoing radical cystectomy (bladder removal) and urinary diversion to help them with communication with the physicians, shared decision making, and preparation for disease-management and follow-up care. The proposed intervention, the Personal Patient Profile - Bladder Cancer (P3-BC), will be the first intervention to address these issues. Results of this pilot randomized feasibility study will provide evidence of the feasibility and acceptability of the P3-BC and will guide further refinement of the tool for a larger experimental trial, with potential dissemination of the program via the Internet and hand-held computing devices.

P3BC
The decisional aid will be developed to enhance patients' communication about cystectomy and urinary diversions with the clinicians, patients' decisions and preparation for self-care. Program users will be able to choose from a menu to view and print: a) summaries of their responses to inquiry questionnaire about information needed, b) selected statistics about specific side effects and self-care, and c) streamed video vignettes with patient actors of mixed cancer stages, age, sex, and race talking with a clinician about their treatment outcomes and self-care. An automatically printed 2-page output to facilitate discussion will list: 1) decision role preference; 2) the 4 highest ranked information preference sheets; and 3) a summary of personal factors plus suggested discussion topics to address with the clinician. The 2-pages will be provided to the treating physician by the research coordinator before the patient's next consultation appointment.
