| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The study aims to systematically analyze the direct effects and interaction effects of communicated source and actual generation – particularly with regard to the following dimensions: • Trust and Transparency (Affective Component) • Cognitive Load/Comprehensibility (Cognitive Component) • Behavioral Intention (Behavioral Component) • Credibility The specified primary endpoints are collected using a questionnaire (via Lime Survey), which consists of validated scales. The questionnaire, including the patient protocol, is sent to members of self-help groups. First, sociodemographic data are collected, followed by the randomized assignment of the patient protocols. Immediately afterward, participants answer questions assessing the patient protocols in the specified dimensions (the complete questionnaire can be viewed under supplementary documents in the study results). Cognitive: Differential Cognitive Load Questionnaire (Kleptsch et al., 2017) Affective: Trust in Oncologist Scale (Hillen et al., 2016), Health Care Relationship Trust Scale (Bova et al., 2006), 4 Points Alliance Scale (Misdrahi et al., 2009) Behavioral: Oriented/adapted from an item by Shekar et al. (2024): “I would use the patient protocol in conversations with my relatives.” Credibility of the message (adapted from Sundar & Appemann, 2016): “How well do the following adjectives describe the content of the MTB patient protocol?” (response via slider): accurate, credible, authentic | — |
