Summary

This study assesses the level of distress felt by cancer patients due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Researchers also want to learn if patients prefer to receive supportive care (palliative care) in person or through telemedicine (visits by phone or video call, such as Zoom). Information from this study may help doctors better understand how COVID-19 has affected patients with advanced cancer, patients' perceptions of telehealth, and may help clinicians tailor care to patients' needs during the pandemic.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess advanced cancer patients' level of distress due to the COVID-19 pandemic. II. Assess patients' overall preference towards palliative telemedicine vs in person visits during the COVID-19 pandemic. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess associations between patient characteristics and perceptions of overall distress due to the COVID-19 pandemic. II. Assess associations between patient characteristics and their attitudes and beliefs towards palliative telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic. III. Compare the attitudes and beliefs towards palliative telemedicine between patients who completed visits via video vs telephone. OUTLINE: Patients complete survey over 20 minutes.
