Interventional Study.
No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05456841). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Recruitment status: RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 1232 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Lung Cancer. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: Empathic Communication Skills (ECS) training; OTHER: Standard of Care participant interaction. Primary outcome measures: Uptake of communication skills using standardized patient assessment/SPAs , 3 months; Uptake of empathy skills using standardized patient assessment/SPAs , 3 months. Brief summary: Research indicates that perceived stigma within medical encounters is prevalent and problematic for lung cancer patients' well-being and quality of cancer care. Promoting empathic communication appears to be a potentially effective intervention target to help reduce patients' perceptions of stigma within clinical encounters; however, no formal trainings exist that focus on teaching empathic communication to oncology care providers (OCPs). Building upon favorable findings from a prior R21 (R21CA202793) and the importance of developing interventions to address lung cancer stigma, our goal is to conduct a national trial of empathic communication skills (ECS) training to facilitate improvements in the medical and psychosocial care of patients through de-stigmatizing interactions with OCPs for patients diagnosed with lung cancer.
