Summary

This study looks at whether training doctors in communication skills can help lymphoma patients move from active treatment to survivorship. It involves 314 patients with Hodgkin's or Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma. The goal is to see if better conversations with their doctors improve patient outcomes during this challenging transition.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
communication skills training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that better doctor-patient communication improves the emotional and practical well-being of lymphoma survivors.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage behavioral study, not a drug trial. Results may not show a clear benefit, and the training may not be widely adopted.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Physicians: * who treat patients with DLBCL and HD as per self report Patients of Physicians: * have a new diagnosis of Hodgkin's or Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma as per pathology report or physician assessment in medical record and/or clinical judgment of the treating physician treated with curative intent. For part 1 - have scans indicating remission and completing planned chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. The treating physician will determine that clinical remission has been achieved based on their best judgment. For part 2 (longitudinal phase): - have new scans indicating remission and completing planned chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. The treating physician will determine that clinical remission has been achieved based on their best judgment. * be at least 18 years old * speak English well enough, in the judgment of the consenting professional, to be able to understand all aspects of the study, provide informed consent, and be able to complete all study measures. Exclusion Criteria: Physicians: * who do not have adequate patients in their clinical practice to meet the 8 patient enrollment requirement for patients with either DLBCL or HD as per self report Patients of Physicians: * show evidence of cognitive impairment severe enough to preclude giving permission to the study staff, or completing the survey instruments of the study. * as per physician judgment, patient's prognosis and/or co-morbidities make them inappropriate for participation in a survivorship study. For Part 2 ONLY (longitudinal phase): * those who consented to part 1, consult recording, of the study.
