We seek a waiver of signed consent, which will allow use of virtual communication during the COVID-19 pandemic period. * Patients will be eligible as key informants in the translation/transcreation process (Aim 1) if they are receiving medical oncology care for a solid tumor malignancy at RLC, SBH, or Jacobi and speak Spanish as their preferred language. In addition, English-speaking Latinx patients will be eligible to participate in interviews based on the back-translated (Spanish-to-English)…
Interventions
- BehavioralCONVO intervention
The CONVO intervention consists of oncology nurse-led discussions exploring patients' health-related values as part of routine oncology care for all patients, from the beginning of oncologic care. Nurses will use the Nurse's Values Discussion Guide. At these sites, chemotherapy nurses will deliver the CONVO discussion, as patients at these sites do not have primary nurses assigned and because oncology doctors, BPs and PAs do not work one-on-one as a pair with a unique nurse.
