Patient Participation in Deciding Breast Cancer Treatment and Subsequent Quality of Life
Abstract
This investigation of patients with early breast cancer examined relationships among patient involvement in deciding treatment (i.e., whether to undergo breast removal or breast conservation), perceptions of control over treatment decisions, and subsequent health-related quality of life. It was predicted 1) that patients who more actively participated in consultations to decide treatment would perceive more decision control than would more passive patients and 2) that patients who perceived greater decision control would report better health-related quality of life following treatment than would patients perceiving less decision control. Sixty patients with stage I or II breast cancer allowed their consultations with surgeons to be audiorecorded. Following these visits, patients reported on their involvement in the consultation, optimism for the future, knowledge about treatment, and two aspects of perceived decision control, the perception of having a choice for treatment and the extent to which the doctor or patient was responsible for the decision. Six and 12 months postoperatively, 51 patients (85%) returned a follow-up survey assessing perceived decision control and health-related quality of life. The first prediction received some support. The patients who had more actively participated in their consultations, particularly in terms of offering opinions, assumed more responsibility for treatment decisions during the year following surgery than did less expressive patient…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
