DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): There are about 9 million people living with cancer in the U.S. Palliative care from diagnosis to death or survivorship can supplement curative care to improve quality of life for both patients and their family members. This Phase I SBIR will result in a prototype CD-ROM with information and interactive tools to help cancer patients and their families address palliative care decisions throughout the disease course. In Phase I, formative evaluation and usability testing will inform the content and design of the CD-ROM. The prototype will include information and three to five interactive tools in a graphic interface that reflects the entire scope of content. A one-group pre-post-test of the prototype will assess the feasibility of using this product to change cancer patients' and family members' knowledge and self-efficacy about making and implementing palliative care decisions. In Phase II, we will produce the remainder of the information and tools and test the CD-ROM in a randomized field test to determine its effectiveness in increasing palliative care-related decision behavior, patient quality of life, family caregiver well-being, and emotional state of both patients and family members, with changes in knowledge and self-efficacy as intermediate variables.

描述（由研究者提供）：美国约有 900 万人患有癌症，从诊断到死亡或生存的姑息治疗可以补充治疗护理，以改善患者及其家人的生活质量。第一阶段 SBIR 将产生一个包含信息和互动工具的原型 CD-ROM，以帮助癌症患者及其家人在整个疾病过程中做出姑息治疗决策。在第一阶段，形成性评估和可用性测试将为 CD-ROM 的内容和设计提供信息。该原型将在图形界面中包含信息和三到五个交互式工具，反映整个内容范围。原型的一组前后测试将评估使用该产品改变癌症患者和家庭成员关于制定和实施姑息治疗决策的知识和自我效能的可行性。在第二阶段，我们将制作剩余的信息和工具，并在随机现场测试中测试 CD-ROM，以确定其在增加姑息治疗相关决策行为、患者生活质量、家庭护理人员福祉和患者和家属的情绪状态，以知识和自我效能的变化作为中间变量。
