Official title
An Optimization Trial to Prepare Advanced Cancer Caregivers for Decision Partnering Using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Using a highly innovative methodology, the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST), the purpose of this study is to pilot test, for the first time, an optimization trial approach to develop and refine the decision partnering skills of family caregivers of persons with newly-diagnosed advanced cancer. Using a 2x2x2 full factorial design, 40 family caregivers of persons with newly-diagnosed advanced cancer will be randomized to receive one or more nurse coach-delivered decision partnering training components, based on the Ottawa Decision Support Framework and Social Support Effectiveness Theory4: 1) psychoeducation on effective decision partnering principles (1 vs. 3 sessions); 2) decision partnering communication training (yes vs. no); and 3) Ottawa Decision Guide training (yes vs. no).
