- Other: Non-Interventional Study
Primary outcomes (6)
- measure
- Explore what physician behaviors contribute to patients' cancer distress
- timeFrame
- Baseline (at enrollment)
- description
- Participants will indicate levels of distress on an 11-point Likert scale (10=extreme distress; 0=no distress). Physician behaviors that contribute to patients' cancer distress (as reported by patients) will be assessed using a free-text question. Topics and contextual factors will be identified by searching for themes with a thematic analysis. Descriptive statistics will be utilized to broadly analyze results. Data will initially be analyzed in its entirety. Subgroup analyses will then be done for patients who have vs have not experienced clinically significant distress (past or current score of 4+ on the distress thermometer). Additional subgroup analyses may be conducted depending on response.
