Theme Classification | Theme | Example |
---|---|---|
Positive | Severity of illness/urgency (95%) | “I brought up side effects a few times, but if there weren’t really any options or the current options weren’t working and my team was at a loss of what to do. I don’t see that I would have a choice.” |
Negative | Concern about side effects (90%) | “Yes, it would. Permanent side effects? No thanks. The side effects I’ve already been having with chemo are harsh enough... definitely side effects would be huge thing” |
Neutral | Recruitment method (100%) | “I was approached very nicely and academically and they gave me the right information. I was able to meet a lot of different professionals working on the trial and felt confident because I got a lot of different perspectives by different teams.” |
Additional information (95%) | “I like that I was able to talk about it with my doctor… I know ultimately I make most of the decisions for myself but I hold him in very high regard.” | |
Opinion of others (100%) | “My friends and family are very informed and aware of what is going on with me. Always want to come to the hospital and they all do their own research…It’s great, I am very supported.” |
