PURPOSE: Despite known benefits of planning for end-of-life, no digital tool exists to help patients with advanced cancer and their loved ones plan for death comprehensively. To address this unmet need, we developed a preliminary version of an innovative website to help patients with advanced cancer prepare for end-of-life tasks.
METHODS: Guided by the Obesity-Related Behavioral Intervention Trials (ORBIT) model for behavioral intervention development, patients with advanced cancer (n = 10) and their caregivers (n = 10) participated in a "Think Aloud" exercise and usability protocols to optimize the end-of-life planning website. The website was iteratively refined throughout the study in collaboration with the partnering company, Peacefully, Inc. Participants also completed the Acceptability E-Scale and System Usability Scale, with a priori benchmarks established for acceptability (scores of ≥ 24 on the Acceptability E-Scale) and usability (scores of ≥ 68 on the System Usability Scale).
RESULTS: Patients (N = 10) and caregivers (N = 10) completed usability testing. Patients were majority female (80%), White (100%), and had a mean age of 58 years. Caregivers (N = 10) were majority male (60%), spouse/partner (90%), White (90%), and had a mean age of 59 years. For patients, a priori hypotheses were met for both acceptability (mean score of 24.7, SD = 4.35) and usability (mean score of 73.8, SD = 6.15). For caregivers, acceptability was just below the cutoff (mean score of 22.9, SD = 4.07) and usability exceeded the cutoff (mean score of 70.0, SD = 8.42). Overall, patients and caregivers reported high levels of satisfaction and found the website helpful, with specific suggestions for changes (e.g., add more information about information security, improve text legibility).
CONCLUSIONS: The findings from this study will inform modifications to optimize an innovative website to support patients with advanced cancer to prepare holistically for end-of-life tasks.
