About this study
Official title: Engaging Patients in Decision Making: The Development and Pilot Testing of a Low Literacy Spanish Language Shared Medical Decision Tool for Ovarian Cancer Maintenance Therapy
To develop a shared decision-making (SDM) tool to help Spanish-speaking patients make decisions about their maintenance therapy
Read the detailed description
Objectives:
- Create a low literacy version of a shared decision-making (SDM) tool for ovarian cancer maintenance therapy for Spanish speaking individuals.
- To explore the feasibility and acceptability of incorporating the SDM tool into routine clinical care for Spanish speaking individuals.
- To estimate the effectiveness of the SDM tool on quality of the decision making in patients with ovarian cancer who are making decisions about maintenance therapy through a pilot study.
- Conditions
- Ovarian Cancer
- Being tested
- Shared Medical Decision Tool, Engaging Patients in Decision Making, Literacy Spanish Language
- Medical subject headings
- Ovarian Neoplasms

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Decision Regret Scale questionnaire
This scale measures decisional regret related to health care decisions at a specific point in time. This tool consists of 5 questions answered on a Likert scale (1="Strongly agree" to 5="Strongly disagree").
Measured: through study completion; an average of 2 year.
