Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This clinical trial evaluates whether a decision aid application (app) is effective in helping breast reconstruction surgery patients make informed decisions about breast reconstruction surgery. Researchers have created a computer app for breast reconstruction surgery patients that presents images of breast reconstruction outcomes that are customized to the individual patient's treatment options and personal preferences. This decision aid app may help educate patients about how they might look after surgery and answer their questions.

- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Arm I (educational materials, enhanced consult, decision aid)
- description
- Patients receive newly-developed educational materials about breast reconstruction and attend an enhanced consultation visit with their plastic surgeon to discuss options for breast reconstruction surgery, during which a decision aid application containing a customized presentation of possible breast reconstruction outcomes is presented. At the end of the consultation visit, patients complete questionnaires about decision-making and psychological well-being. Within 4-6 weeks and 3-6 months after beginning the reconstruction process, patients also complete questionnaires about satisfaction with their breasts, body image, and psychological well-being, and undergo two-dimensional (2D) and 3D imaging of the torso.
