Lived experiences of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) management: a qualitative phenomenological study in Southwest China by Li Ma, Ping Chen, Cheng Yi, Wanting Hou, Changlin Li, Qingyue Liang, Xiumei Zhao

“…Objectives To explore the lived experiences of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer enrolled in a patient-reported outcomes (PROs) management programme and to preliminarily understand how PROs management influences various aspects of patient care and overall quality of life.Design A qualitative phenomenological study.Setting A national cancer care centre in Southwest China specialised in cancer care, with a comprehensive PROs management programme.Participants 15 participants diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer.Results Five key themes emerged from our interviews, including enhanced communication with healthcare providers, attributed to the structured nature of PROs; increased perceived sense of care, with patients feeling more valued and heard; PROs management facilitated better treatment decision-making, with patients feeling more involved and empowered; improved communication with family members, aiding in better understanding and support; and varied perceptions of the impact on quality of life, with some noting improvements in specific aspects like symptom management, while others were uncertain about the overall benefit.Conclusions PROs management plays a significant role in improving communication between patients with advanced pancreatic cancer and their healthcare providers, enhancing patients’ involvement in treatment decisions, and potentially improving family dynamics. …”

Acceptability of artificial intelligence in breast screening: focus groups with the screening-eligible population in England by Jo Waller, Rumana Newlands, Lauren Gatting, Angie A Kehagia, Syeda Ahmed, Priscilla Meccheri

“…Data were analysed using a reflexive thematic analysis.Results Four themes described public perceptions of AI in breast screening found in this study: (1) Things going wrong and being missed summarises a predominant and pervasive concern about an AI tool being used in breast screening; (2) Speed of change and loss of control captures a positive association of AI with technological advances held by the women but also feelings of things being out of their control, and that they were being left behind and in the dark; (3) The importance of humans reports concern around the possibility that AI excludes humans and renders them redundant and (4) Desire for thorough research, staggered implementation and double-checking of scans included insistence that any AI be thoroughly trialled, tested and not solely relied on when initially implemented.Conclusions It will be essential that future decision-making and communication about AI implementation in breast screening (and, likely, in healthcare more widely) address concerns surrounding (1) the fallibility of AI, (2) lack of inclusion, control and transparency in relation to healthcare and technology decisions and (3) humans being left redundant and unneeded, while building on women’s hopes for the technology.…”

THE ATTITUDE OF STUDENT YOUTH TO FAMILY VALUES (CASE STUDY OF THE SVERDLOVSK REGION) by Yu. R. Vishnevsky, M. V. Yachmeneva

“…The objective reason of these phenomena consists in the period of social and economic reforms dragged on over several decades; the spontaneous and unpredictable nature of those reforms have turned the prospects of the family institute to be uncertain and obliged people to strengthen their fears for the future and future of their children, which in turn resulted in complicated decision making on marriage by young people. Besides, aspirations of young people to personal liberty, individual self-affirmation and egocentric pleasure have increased, the consequence of which is unwillingness to be obliged by the family.Practical significance. …”
