This can lead to patients having inaccurate expectations of their outcomes following treatment. These inaccurate assumptions can be especially devastating in high stakes scenarios such as in the surgical management of metastatic epidural spine tumors. This ongoing prospective study aims to explore the quality of communication between clinicians and six patients by using a longitudinal survey methodology where patients are surveyed prior to surgery and then post-operatively and two and six weeks. These surveys are then compared to look for differences between the expected outcome and the actual outcome. 000043575 540__ $$fCC BY 000043575 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000043575 650__ $$aHumans$$020376 000043575 650__ $$aProspective Studies$$024706 000043575 650__ $$aMotivation$$022450 000043575 650__ $$aLongitudinal Studies$$021617 000043575 650__ $$aCommunication$$016935 000043575 650__ $$aPatient-Centered Care$$031106 000043575 650__ $$aReferral and Consultation$$025251 000043575 650__ $$aPersonal Satisfaction$$023860 000043575 650__ $$aPhysicians$$024116 000043575 650__ $$aNeoplasms$$022758 000043575 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000043575 692__ $$aDepartment of Neurological Surgery$$041430 000043575 7001_ $$aMarik, Charles$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000043575 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2024 000043575 8564_ $$96ffd808b-2b09-4fe0-b029-05ef9392c8cf$$s116326$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/43575/files/ResearchWeek.2024.Marik.Charles.pdf 000043575 980__ $$aResearch Week
