From Qualitative Data to GP Training on CRC Screening

From Qualitative Data to GP Training on CRC Screening Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. In France, although mass screening has been performed using the guaiac fecal occult blood test since 2008, the participation rate remains too low. Previous studies have explored the perspectives of doctors and patients as well as the performance of general practitioners (GPs) by recording and analyzing consultations in which patients came and asked for fecal occult blood test. Results indicated that improvement was needed in patient-centered communication. This research aims to develop educational material and training programs for GPs in order to enhance their communication with patients on CRC screening, based on data from two qualitative studies. Triangulation of all qualitative data was performed and discussed with communication experts in order to develop educational material and training programs based on the patient-centered clinical method. Two different scenarios were developed to improve communication with patients: one for a compliant patient and another for a noncompliant patient. Two videos were made featuring a doctor and a simulated patient. A two-sequence training program was built, including role-playing and presentation of the video followed by a discussion. The qualitative data helped us to produce a useful, relevant training program for GPs on CRC screening. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Cancer Education Springer Journals

Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. In France, although mass screening has been performed using the guaiac fecal occult blood test since 2008, the participation rate remains too low. Previous studies have explored the perspectives of doctors and patients as well as the performance of general practitioners (GPs) by recording and analyzing consultations in which patients came and asked for fecal occult blood test. Results indicated that improvement was needed in patient-centered communication. This research aims to develop educational material and training programs for GPs in order to enhance their communication with patients on CRC screening, based on data from two qualitative studies. Triangulation of all qualitative data was performed and discussed with communication experts in order to develop educational material and training programs based on the patient-centered clinical method. Two different scenarios were developed to improve communication with patients: one for a compliant patient and another for a noncompliant patient. Two videos were made featuring a doctor and a simulated patient. A two-sequence training program was built, including role-playing and presentation of the video followed by a discussion. The qualitative data helped us to produce a useful, relevant training program for GPs on CRC screening.
