Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Values and preferences are key determinants of optimal care, and variability in patient values and preferences often dictates differences in patient management. Clinicians' views of patients' values and preferences may differ across cultural aspects and stage of training, but the extent to which this is the case remains uncertain. One key value and preference issue is the trade-off between quantity and quality of life, and this issue is particularly prominent among patients with dementia. We therefore propose to investigate the extent to which physicians' perceptions of optimal management for patients living with advanced dementia may differ due to cross-cultural factors and stage of medical training.
METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will conduct a sequential explanatory mixed-methods study (QUAN → qual). First, we will administer paper-based or electronic surveys during educational sessions, conferences and rounds to medical students, residents and physicians in ten countries, either in person or online. Following that, a qualitative inquiry, guided by the findings of the quantitative study and the principles of the interpretive description design, will inform an in-depth exploration of the predictive factors identified in the quantitative data analysis.
ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The Hamilton Integrated Research Ethics Board at McMaster University has approved this study (approval number 2024-17651). We will disseminate our findings in peer-reviewed publications and present results at conferences as oral and poster presentations.
