INFECTION, DISEASE, BLOOD
Participation in the study does not entail any health risks apart from the risk of infection with COVID-19 in the case of a face-to-face conversation. Study participants can choose between face-to-face or contact via telephone or video (e.g., Jitsi) to avoid the risk of infection. For face-to-face interview appointments, hygiene protection measures will be taken to mitigate the risk of infection. Filling out the decision aid and the accompanying preoccupation with personal information needs about the disease, personal values, and preferences, may put more psychological strain on patients than would otherwise be the case. It may also happen that patients in the control group, i.e., those who only fill in the questionnaires before and after the medical consultations, may perceive a psychological burden due to not receiving decision coaching.As the study only involves questionnaires, there are no further risks. Blood samples, MRI, or X-ray examinations are not planned.
