Scientific titleReviewing the validity of items for patients to self report adverse events: A patient cognitive interview study
Study acronymeRAPID
Study objectivesTo review selected items for self-reporting of adverse events (AE) for acceptability, comprehension and clinical meaningfulness in a sample of breast, lung, renal, gynaecological and colorectal and cancer patients undergoing treatment at the Bexley Wing at St James’ University Hospital. The study will result in a bank of appropriate items reviewed for face and content validity, cultural relevance and comprehensively reflect local patient experience for remote self-report in the eRAPID project.
Ethics approval(s)Leeds East Research Ethics Committee, 10/06/2011, ref: 11/YH/0159
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedColorectal Cancer, breast cancer, gynaecological cancer, renal cancer, lung cancer
InterventionWe plan to approach 60 gynaecological, renal, breast, lung and colorectal cancer patients attending St James’ University Hospital Bexley Wing as an inpatient outpatient or day case who are receiving biological and chemotherapy. We will adopt a purposive sampling strategy balanced by age, gender and tumour group recruiting similar numbers until data saturation is achieved.

Participants will be invited to take part in a cognitive interview, it is anticipated that this will take approximately 1 hour. The cognitive interview will involve two stages:
1. Completion of a questionnaire featuring items questions about the most commonly occurring AE for patients undergoing biological and chemotherapy treatment appropriate to the cancer site
2. Verbal probing which aims to reveal the cognitive processes relevant to answering survey questions and is an ideal way to pre-test questions in participants. The audio recorded verbal probing will apply to questions where patients have had difficulty answering a question and if they have experienced that symptom, to check for false negatives the researcher will probe a random selection of questions where patients have not indicated difficulty or symptomatology.
Verbal probes will explore:
2.1. General views about completion of the questionnaire
2.2. Wwording of questions (particularly for cultural literacy)
2.3. Interpretation and comprehension of questions
2.4. Comprehensibility of the response scale,iv) difficulty
