“…Some studies did not have a control group, had a small sample size, or did not use psychometrically validated measures of patient satisfaction [7–16, 19–21]. Additionally, several PN studies that evaluated patient satisfaction were conducted with patients who had breast and/or cervical abnormalities, and thus, had limited male participation [7–10, 13, 15, 18, 20]. …”

Purpose Despite growing popularity of patient navigation (PN) as a means to improve cancer care quality and reduce cancer-related disparities, there are few well-designed controlled trials assessing the impact of PN on patient outcomes like satisfaction with care. The present controlled study examined effect of PN on satisfaction with cancer-related care. Methods Patients who presented with a symptom or abnormal screening test (n=1788) or definitive diagnosis (n=445) of breast, cervical, colorectal, or prostate cancer from eight Patient Navigator Research Program sites were included in one of two groups: intervention (PN) or comparison (usual care or usual care plus cancer educational materials). Trained patient navigators met with intervention group participants to help them assess and identify resources to address barriers to cancer diagnostic or treatment care. Using a validated instrument, we assessed participants' satisfaction with their cancer diagnostic or treatment care up to 3 months after diagnostic resolution of a cancer-related abnormality or within 3 months of initiation of cancer treatment. Results Overall, patients reported high satisfaction with diagnostic care and cancer treatment. There were no statistically significant differences between PN and control groups in satisfaction with cancer-related care (p>0.05). Hispanic and African American participants were less likely to report high satisfaction with cancer care when compared to White patients. Middle-aged participants with higher education, higher household income, private insurance, owning their own home, working full-time, and those whose primary language is English had higher satisfaction with cancer-related diagnostic care. Conclusions PN had no statistically significant effect on patients' satisfaction with cancer-related care. Further research is needed to define the patient populations who might benefit from PN, content of PN that is most useful, and services that might enhance PN.

“…The benefits of navigators for improved decisions and decision-making have been consistently evident, particularly when paired with other decision aides (Hacking et al, 2013;Belkora et al, 2011;Weber et al, 2012;Donelan et al, 2011;Sommers et al, 2015). No comparable studies exist for choices among between clinicians, making this a potential important addition to the literature.…”

“…Humphrey et al studies (10,(14)(15)(16)(17). The participants were asked to describe their biopsy encounter in terms of the seven attributes of diagnostic testing that make up the TMI: (a) pain or discomfort before the test, (b) pain or discomfort during the test, (c) fear or anxiety before the test, (d) fear or anxiety during the test, (e) embarrassment during the test, (f) physical function after testing, and (g) mental function after testing.…”

“…The surveys also included questions about the patient's satisfaction with their clinic experience (17). Three statements were included: "the waiting room area was comfortable," "the staff showed concern for my concerns and worries," and "the doctor explained what to expect during my examination and biopsy."…”

women undergoing percutaneous breast biopsy in an academic medical center were recruited to participate in a mixed-mode survey 2-4 days after biopsy. Patients described their biopsy experience by using the Testing Morbidities Index (TMI), a validated instrument for assessing short-term quality of life related to diagnostic testing. The scale ranged from 0 (worst possible experience) to 100 (no adverse effects). Seven attributes were assessed: pain or discomfort before and during testing, fear or anxiety before and during testing, embarrassment during testing, and physical and mental function after testing. Demographic and clinical information were also collected. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to identify significant predictors of TMI score. Results:In 188 women (mean age, 51.4 years; range, 22-80 years), the mean TMI score (6standard deviation) was 82 6 12. Univariate analysis revealed age and race as significant predictors of the TMI score (P , .05). In the multivariate model, only patient age remained a significant independent predictor (P = .001). TMI scores decreased by approximately three points for every decade decrease in patient age, which suggests that younger women were more adversely affected by the biopsy experience. Conclusion:Younger patient age is a significant predictor of decreased short-term quality of life related to percutaneous breast biopsy procedures. Tailored prebiopsy counseling may better prepare women for percutaneous biopsy procedures and improve their experience.q RSNA, 2013
