Health-Related Quality of Life and Utility Scores of Lung Cancer Patients Treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine in China.
To assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and utility scores of lung cancer patients treated with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in China. ⋯ Lung cancer patients treated with TCM have poor HRQoL, with many patients reporting problems in the pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression dimensions. The information on health utility scores and HRQoL of lung cancer patients treated with TCM could be useful for future supportive care, economic evaluations and decision-making in China.

Information-Seeking Strategies of People with Multiple Sclerosis in Spain: The INFOSEEK-MS Study.
Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are increasingly demanding access to reliable information regarding their disease. The objective of the INFOSEEK-MS study was to assess what are the strategies people with MS use when searching for information on their disease, including sources, frequency, reliability, and preferred content. ⋯ Although healthcare professionals are considered the most reliable source of information for people with MS, searching for information on the Internet is very frequent. An individualized information strategy considering the different factors involved is needed.

Adherence to Oral Targeted Anti-Lung Cancer Therapy: A Qualitative Interview Study.
Oral targeted antineoplastic drugs (OTADs) are becoming more and more acceptable for lung cancer treatment due to their advantages such as the convenience of administration and milder side effects. However, medication adherence represents a major issue for prolonged OTAD treatment. In this study, the factors associated with treatment adherence to OTAD were explored through the Adherence Influencing Factor Framework suggested by WHO. Based on these results, we further examined the potential factors related to social psychological cognition in OTAD adherence in patients with lung cancer. ⋯ Family structure, weigh the pros and cons of OTAD treatment, information access, shared decision making, nurse's inquiry are potential factors affecting OTAD adherence in lung cancer patients. Providing drug information support to patients, inviting patients to join in shared decision-making and strengthening doctor-patient-nurse cooperation are important for improving medication adherence. Further research should be conducted to help healthcare providers to promote the medication adherence of lung cancer patients to OTAD treatment.

Does It Matter How You Ask? Assessing the Impact of Failure or Effectiveness Framing on Preferences for Antibiotic Treatments in a Discrete Choice Experiment.
Studies assessing framing effects in discrete choice experiments (DCE) primarily focused on attributes related to mortality/survival information. Little is known about framing effects for other attributes in health-related DCEs. This study aimed to investigate how framing treatment outcome as effective, failure, or a combined frame impacts respondent choices and DCE outcomes. ⋯ Our study showed that attribute framing can impact preferences regardless of the attribute's importance value in alternative valuation. However, the practical implication of this effect may be limited. A theoretical discussion is needed to identify how researchers should accommodate and report any potential framing effect in their studies.
