Project Abstract/Summary As a health services researcher and Assistant Professor at Temple University, my long-term career goal is to become a leader in preference-based, patient-centered outcomes research to inform decision making for patients with end-stage lung disease, specifically about transplantation decisions. Clinical trials have shown that decision aids improve the quality and efficiency of decision making, improve comprehension and decrease decisional conflict. Despite these benefits, few decision aids have addressed the complexity of lung transplant. A critical barrier to the development of decision aids is the inability to inform and communicate to patients and caregivers the impact of transplant on quality of life (QoL). Thus, to address these knowledge gaps and pursue my long-term career goals, I will investigate patient priorities for QoL outcomes in the context of lung transplant decision making to inform the development of a decision aid. Three Specific Aims will accomplish this objective. AIM 1: Describe priorities for QoL outcomes and their impact on decision making among patients (n=30-40) and caregivers (n=30-40) at each phase of lung transplant, and clinicians (n=10-15). AIM 2: Measure QoL, priorities for outcomes, and willingness to trade between quantity and quality of life among a prospective cohort of patients (n=200) and caregivers (n=200) considering lung transplant using health-related quality of life measures, best- worst scaling tasks, and treatment tradeoff exercises. AIM 3: Develop and assess the feasibility and acceptability of a decision aid among patient and caregiver dyads (n=30) considering lung transplant. To accomplish these aims, I propose a mixed method approach. Qualitative methods include semi-structured interviews conducted in cross-sectional samples across transplant phases (Aim 1). Quantitative surveys and the feasibility/acceptability study will be collected among patients with end-stage lung disease just starting to consider transplant, as well as their caregivers (Aims 2 and 3). A prospective cohort will be followed over time to identify differences across phases of decision making (Aim 2). Although I have had a productive start to my career, I require further training to execute these Aims, accomplish these goals and achieve independence as an investigator. Specifically, I have identified four short-term career objectives. I will: 1) lead a community-engaged research effort inclusive of patients, caregivers and clinicians; 2) design and implement qualitative and mixed methods approaches to collect and analyze patient experience data; 3) obtain formal training in theory of decision making, interpersonal health communication and risk communication; and 4) acquire domain expertise to apply these skills in the context of lung transplant. I have designed a career development plan to achieve these objectives that includes mentorship from a highly accomplished group of researchers who are dedicated to my career development and experts in decision making theory, decision aid design, health and risk communication, qualitative and mixed methods, and lung transplant. These mentors have long histories of extramural funding and mentoring. In addition to mentored instruction, I will complete didactic coursework and intensive professional trainings.

项目摘要/总结 作为坦普尔大学的卫生服务研究员和助理教授，我的长期职业目标是 成为基于偏好、以患者为中心的结果研究的领导者，为决策提供信息 患有终末期肺病的患者，特别是关于移植决定。临床试验表明 决策辅助提高决策的质量和效率，提高理解力并减少 决策冲突。尽管有这些好处，但很少有决策辅助工具能够解决肺移植的复杂性。 决策辅助开发的一个关键障碍是无法向患者和患者提供信息和沟通 护理人员了解移植对生活质量 (QoL) 的影响。因此，为了解决这些知识差距并追求 我的长期职业目标，我将调查肺移植背景下患者生活质量结果的优先事项 决策为决策辅助的开发提供信息。三个具体目标将实现这一目标。 目标 1：描述 QoL 结果的优先级及其对患者决策的影响 (n=30-40) 和 肺移植各阶段的护理人员 (n=30-40) 和临床医生 (n=10-15)。目标 2：衡量生活质量、优先事项 预期患者队列中的结果以及在生活数量和质量之间进行权衡的意愿 （n = 200）和护理人员（n = 200）考虑使用与健康相关的生活质量措施进行肺移植，最好- 最糟糕的扩展任务和治疗权衡练习。目标 3：制定并评估可行性和可接受性 考虑肺移植的患者和护理人员二人组 (n=30) 之间的决策援助。为了完成这些 为了实现这一目标，我提出了一种混合方法。定性方法包括在以下地点进行的半结构化访谈： 跨移植阶段的横截面样本（目标 1）。定量调查和可行性/可接受性 研究还将在刚刚开始考虑移植的终末期肺病患者中收集 作为他们的照顾者（目标 2 和 3）。随着时间的推移，我们将跟踪一个前瞻性队列，以确定不同人群之间的差异 决策的各个阶段（目标 2）。尽管我的职业生涯已经有了一个富有成效的开端，但我需要进一步的培训 执行这些目标，实现这些目标并实现作为调查员的独立性。具体来说，我 确定了四个短期职业目标。我将：1）领导社区参与的研究工作，包括 患者、护理人员和临床医生； 2）设计和实施定性和混合方法来收集 并分析患者体验数据； 3）获得决策理论、人际关系健康方面的正规培训 沟通和风险沟通； 4）获得领域专业知识以在以下环境中应用这些技能 肺移植。我设计了一个职业发展计划来实现这些目标，其中包括指导 来自一群高度成就的研究人员，他们致力于我的职业发展和专家 决策理论、决策辅助设计、健康和风险沟通、定性和混合方法，以及 肺移植。这些导师有着悠久的校外资助和指导历史。除了辅导之外 指导下，我将完成教学课程和强化专业培训。
