Objective: To identify a) interruptions (secondary activities disrupting the workflow of the main task) occurring during case discussions in multidisciplinary tumor conferences (MTCs) with patient participation, and b) observable reactions among patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs).
Methods: Within the non-interventional mixed-methods study PINTU, we video-recorded five case discussions during MTCs with patient participation at one breast and gynecological cancer center. A qualitative sequential video interaction analysis was used to identify interruptions and related interactions.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined how patients felt about their shared decision-making (SDM) experiences after participating or not participating in multidisciplinary tumor conferences (MTCs) over a 4-week period.
- It included feedback from 317 patients, comparing those who attended the MTCs (82 patients) versus those who did not (145 patients), using surveys and audio transcripts.
- Findings revealed that while SDM experiences improved after 4 weeks (p<0.001), patients who participated in MTCs reported lower satisfaction directly after the conference, suggesting that changes in MTC organization, like using a round table seating, could enhance these experiences.
Objective: Patients' participation is part of patient-centeredness, but it is so far unclear whether providers in multidisciplinary tumor conferences (MTCs) with patient participation communicate in a patient-centered way. Our aim is to explore (a) to what extent providers ask questions to breast and gynecological cancer patients during case discussion in MTCs, (b) how providers respond to patients' expressions of emotions during case discussions, and (c) which patient- and context-related characteristics and responses are associated with patients' trust in the treatment team after the case discussion.
Methods: This observational study included survey data and audio recordings of MTCs with patient participation at three breast and gynecological cancer centers.
Objective: To investigate (a) how many questions and negative emotions (cues/concerns) breast and/or gynecologic cancer patients and companions express during their case discussion in multidisciplinary tumor conferences (MTCs), (b) with which topics the emotions are linked, and (c) which patient- and context-related characteristics determine patients' communicative behavior.
Methods: This observational study included audio/video recordings of MTCs with patient participation in three breast and gynecological cancer centers. Using the Verona Coding Definitions of Emotional Sequences, patients' and companions' questions and negative emotions expressed were analyzed.
