Shared Decision Making in Patients With Lung Cancer After Surgery：a Molecular Testing Decision Aid Evidence Based Development Study
The objective of this study is to develop a Decision Aid for Lung Cancer Molecular Testing (DA\_LCMT) and to facilitate shared-decision making in patients who were diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma by intraoperative frozen pathology about whether to conduct the molecular testing.
• Patients of decision-making need assessment:
• 1\) age ≥ 18 years; 2) patients with primary invasive adenocarcinoma of lung diagnosed by intraoperative frozen pathological section; 3) have or have not made a decision on lung cancer molecular testing (whether to perform molecular testing or not).
• Other stakeholders of decision-making need assessment:
• 1\) age ≥ 18 years; 2) relevant work experience ≥ 2 years; 3) for thoracic surgeons and personnel in molecular testing companies: have previous experience in communicating with patients about molecular testing related to lung cancer targeted therapy; 4) for nurses, hospital administrators, and personnel in insurance companies: have a certain understanding of the decision-making process.
• Patients of Cognitive debriefing/Alpha tests:
• 1\) age ≥ 18 years; 2) patients with primary invasive adenocarcinoma of lung diagnosed by intraoperative frozen pathological section; 3) have made a decision on whether to perform lung cancer molecular testing or not.
• other stakeholders of Cognitive debriefing/Alpha tests:
• 1\) age ≥ 18 years; 2) relevant work experience ≥ 2 years; 3) for thoracic surgeons and personnel in molecular testing companies: have previous experience in communicating with patients about molecular testing related to lung cancer targeted therapy; 4) for nurses, hospital administrators, and personnel in insurance companies: have a certain understanding of the decision-making process.
• Patients of field testing /Beta tests:
• 1\) age ≥ 18 years; 2) patients with primary invasive adenocarcinoma of lung diagnosed by intraoperative frozen pathological section; 3) have not decided whether to perform lung cancer molecular testing or not.
• Clinician of field testing /Beta tests:
• 1\) age ≥ 18 years; 2) relevant work experience ≥ 2 years; 3) previous experience in communicating with patients about molecular testing related to lung cancer targeted therapy; and 4) voluntarily participated in this study.
