项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): One in five Americans die using intensive care (ICU) services despite a dominant cultural preference for dying at home. Blacks, especially those with cancer, are more likely to die in an ICU than whites, despite the fact that the majority of black elders have a preference against aggressive end-of-life treatment. For patients with end-stage cancer, seeking or deferring ICU admission is a critical single-event decision. While there is some evidence that blacks may be more likely to prefer aggressive life-sustaining treatment than whites, race-based differences in communication around end-of-life ICU use likely also contribute to existing disparities. Previous studies of physician decision making for common medical conditions have demonstrated race-based differences in diagnosis and treatment, ranging from overt prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination to the application of rules of conditional probability in the context of uncertainty. The goal of the proposed study is to enhance understanding of decision-making processes that impact end-of-life ICU use and factors which contribute to existing racial disparities in end-of-life ICU use. Our three specific aims are: 1) To test the effect of patient race on physician decisions to recommend ICU admission for a patient with end-stage cancer using high-fidelity simulation. 2) To test whether and how patient-provider communication mediates the effect of patient race on physician ICU admission decisions using qualitative content analysis of simulation encounters. 3) To explore the causes of race-based differences in ICU admission decision-making. A better understanding of physicians' decision-making processes and how they may contribute to a mismatch between patient preferences and end-of-life treatment could be used to design interventions to improve physician behavior. Public Health Relevance: The relevance of the proposed project to public health derives from a better understanding of how physicians contribute to racial variations in intensive care use at the end of life. The proposed project will be a success if can document differences in treatment decisions for black versus white simulated patients and generate hypotheses explaining these observed differences. Future work might include testing these hypotheses and developing educational modules for physicians aimed at improving their ability to make patient-centered decisions for critically ill patients with end-stage cancer.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管文化偏爱在家中死亡，但使用重症监护（ICU）服务的五分之一美国人使用重症监护（ICU）死亡。尽管大多数黑人长者都偏爱积极的寿命终止治疗，但黑人，尤其是患有癌症的黑人，尤其是患有ICU的黑人。对于终阶段癌症患者，寻求或推迟ICU入院是一个关键的单事件决定。尽管有证据表明黑人可能更可能比白人更喜欢积极的生活疗法，但基于种族的沟通差异围绕生命终止ICU的使用差异也可能导致现有差异。先前对医师对常见医疗状况的决策的研究表明，基于种族的诊断和治疗差异，范围从明显的偏见，刻板印象和歧视到在不确定性的情况下适用条件概率规则。拟议的研究的目的是增强对影响生命终止ICU使用的决策过程的理解以及在生命终止ICU使用中有助于现有种族差异的因素。我们的三个具体目的是：1）测试患者种族对医师决定的影响，建议使用高保真模拟为患有终阶段癌症患者的ICU入院。 2）测试使用模拟遭遇的定性内容分析，如何以及如何使用患者的沟通介导患者种族对医师ICU入院决策的影响。 3）探索基于种族的ICU入学决策的原因。可以更好地了解医生的决策过程，以及它们如何导致患者偏好和临终治疗之间的不匹配，以设计干预措施以改善医师行为。公共卫生相关性：拟议项目与公共卫生的相关性来自对医师在生命末期如何促进重症监护术的种族变化的更好理解。如果可以记录黑人模拟患者与白色模拟患者的治疗决策差异，并产生假设解释这些观察到的差异，则该项目将是成功的。未来的工作可能包括测试这些假设并为医生开发教育模块，旨在提高其以患者为中心的终阶段癌症患者做出以患者为中心的决定的能力。
