Brief Summary

The objective of this study was to develop a web-based, shared decision-making (SDM) tool for helping patients with breast cancer make decisions on fertility preservation.

Conditions

Breast Neoplasm Female

Keywords

breast cancer; shared decision making; website; action research; fertility preservation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Preparation for Decision-Making

  We evaluated the effectiveness of the Preparation for Decision-Making (prepDM) scale. Both patients and health care providers were invited to answer 10 questions by responding with a 5-point Likert scale rating (from 1 to 5). A higher score indicated greater agree with the effect.

EXPERIMENTAL

Each part of the website page was assessed for comprehensibility and usability by patients. Health care providers were asked to assess the acceptability of the website. A 5-point Likert scale was used for patient and health care provider ratings for each item. If the score were less than 3, then we would modify the website content based on the user feedback from patients and health care providers

Device: a web-based shared decision-making tool

Interventions

a web-based shared decision-making tool DEVICE

Five major parts were developed with the use of the action research approach. The Introduction and Options (parts 1 and 2) describe the severity of the cancer treatment and infertility and the knowledge of fertility preservation, respectively. The SDM tool was designed as a step by step process (part 3) that involves the comparison of options, patient's values and preferences, their knowledge regarding infertility and options, and reaching a collective decision. The Resources (part 4) provide information on the hospitals that provide such services, and the References (part 5) list all the literature cited in the website. The results show the web-based SDM meets both the patients' and health providers' needs and helps reproductive-age patients with breast cancer make decisions on fertility preservation.
