Official title
Widening Aims and Giving Patients a Voice for Expanded Structures in Breast Cancer Care Jointly Developed by Patients and Physicians (Wechselseitiger Patienten-Arzt-Austausch in Der Versorgung Bei Brustkrebs Mit Dem Ziel Der Gemeinsamen Erarbeitung Neuer Patienten-orientierter Strukturen)
Overview
The aim of this BZKF project is to record the current care structure for breast cancer patients in order to use this as a basis for developing possible future models for improvement. The active involvement of representatives of regional and national patient organizations in the creation of a patient-based and patient-oriented survey ensures that the needs of patients are the focus. In addition to and in contrast to other projects, relevant questions are explicitly addressed not only to patients but also to physicians in order to identify and specify the interfaces between patient wishes/suggestions and to develop clinical consequences for care. The first objective is to survey the "current situation" by recording the current care structure for breast cancer. The focus is on the survey of both groups on patient-physician communication, time management and coping strategies. By planning the future harmonization of national data structures, the basis is created for the long-term goal of an improved "target", a concept developed jointly by physicians and patients for an improved communication and care structure that focuses on the patient.
Interventions
- Other Questionnaire patients
Completion of a two-part questionnaire with a special focus on communication around the breast cancer diagnosis. Tumor stage and therapies received are also surveyed. The questionnaire can be answered online via a secure tool (REDCap) or in paper form. - Other Questionnaire physicians
Completion of a questionnaire with a special focus on communication around the breast cancer diagnosis
Primary outcome measures
- Current state of care - patient view [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Current state of care - physician view [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years]
