项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract Current informed consent practices for oncology clinical trials focus on individual autonomy and fail to account for the complex obligations and relationships that influence decision-making. Family caregivers are influential in medical decision-making for cancer patients, yet little is known regarding how they are included in clinical trial discussions and what is important to them when considering participation. Clinical trial staff are primarily responsible for informed consent in oncology trials and maintain ongoing contact with patients and caregivers, yet they are also overlooked in clinical trial decision-making research. This study aims to fill this knowledge gap using qualitative methodology to elicit perspectives from family caregivers and clinical trial staff, key stakeholders in oncology clinical trial decision-making. The specific aims are: (1) to understand how family caregivers of patients with cancer conceptualize their role in clinical trial decision making, (2) to determine factors influential to family caregivers of patients with cancer during the clinical trial decision-making process, and (3) to identify attitudes, beliefs, and approaches used by clinical trial staff to navigate family caregiver involvement in the informed consent process for clinical trials. Two focus groups will be conducted, one with oncology clinical trial staff and one with family caregivers of patients with cancer. Thematic analysis of focus group data will refine interview guides for subsequent semi-structured interviews with family caregivers. Results will inform future bioethics research, policies, and practice regarding inclusion of family caregivers in clinical trial informed consent processes.

项目摘要/摘要肿瘤学临床试验的当前知情同意惯例着重于个人自主权，无法说明对于影响决策的复杂义务和关系。家庭护理人员有影响力在癌症患者的医疗决策中，关于如何将其包括在临床中审判讨论以及在考虑参与时对他们重要的事情。临床试验人员主要是负责在肿瘤学试验中获得知情同意，并与患者和看护人保持持续的联系，然而，在临床试验决策研究中，它们也被忽略了。这项研究旨在填补这一知识差距使用定性方法来引起家庭护理人员和临床审判人员的观点，关键肿瘤学临床试验决策的利益相关者。具体目的是：（1）了解家庭如何癌症患者的护理人员概念化他们在临床试验决策中的作用，（2）确定在临床试验决策过程中对癌症患者家庭护理人员影响的因素，（3）确定临床试验人员使用的态度，信念和方法来导航家庭护理人员参与临床试验的知情同意过程。将进行两个焦点小组，一个与肿瘤学临床试验人员，一名患有癌症患者的家庭护理人员。焦点的主题分析小组数据将完善面试指南，以便随后与家庭护理人员进行半结构化访谈。结果将为未来的生物伦理学研究，政策和实践提供信息，以纳入家庭护理人员临床试验知情同意程序。
