Use of Evidence-Based Supportive Care Clinical Practice Guidelines in Pediatric Oncology

This research trial studies the use of clinical practice guidelines by pediatric oncology
healthcare providers in order to identify, understand, and overcome barriers to them. The
treatments for childhood cancers are intense and result in a high rate of symptoms which
require support by healthcare providers. By reviewing patients' medical chart records,
meeting in focus groups and in one-on-one interviews, healthcare providers may improve how
clinical practice guidelines are used to support children undergoing cancer treatment.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To measure the rate of adherence to selected Children's Oncology Group (COG)-endorsed
supportive care clinical practice guidelines (CPG) recommendations at National Cancer
Institute (NCI) Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) sites. (Aim 1) II. To describe
the possible influence of NCORP site size and the number of patients enrolled in COG studies
per site on the delivery of CPG-consistent care. (Aim 1a) III. To describe the clinical
outcome of episodes during which patients receive CPG-consistent or CPG-inconsistent care.
(Aim 1b) IV. To describe facilitators of and barriers to the use of CPGs elicited via focus
group interviews with a diverse set of potential users (physician, nurse, nurse practitioner
and pharmacists) who provide pediatric cancer care at NCORP sites. (Aim 2) V. To improve how
well CPG recommendations are understood by health care providers by refining the CPG
recommendation format based on an iterative process of cognitive interviewing and formatting
revisions. (Aim 3)

OUTLINE:

AIM 1 (CHART REVIEW): Patients are separated for each CPG evaluated (fever and neutropenia
[FN], chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting [CINV], fertility preservation [FP]) and are
randomly selected for medical chart review. Patients with eligible episodes of FN, CINV or FP
within the health records are selected and have the data from their records abstracted and
reviewed by COG for adherence to COG endorsed CPGs.

AIM 2 (FOCUS GROUPS): Health care providers who provide direct care to pediatric oncology
patients are identified and separated to participate in three types of focus groups:
physician-only, non-physician, and mixed.

AIM 3 (INTERVIEWS): Health care providers undergo one-on-one interviews consisting of think
aloud technique (TAL) of cognitive interviewing.
