A Checklist (Advanced Care Planning) for The Assessment of Mobility Needs in Patients With Sarcoma

The number of participants accrued during the recruitment period.

The number of participants to complete the intervention.

The Acceptability E-Scale is a 6-item scale, scored on a 5-point Likert scale (e.g., 1=very difficult; 5= very easy), with previously demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=.76), with higher values indicating higher levels of acceptability.

Usability of the ACP Mobility Checklist will be assessed among patients using the System Usability Scale (SUS). The SUS is a 10-item scale, scored on a 5-point Likert scale (1=strongly disagree; 5=strongly agree), with higher values indicating higher levels of usability.

Satisfaction with the intervention will be assessed with a single, 10-point Likert scale item assessing how satisfied participants are with the intervention (1= not at all satisfied, 10 = extremely satisfied). Higher values indicate higher ratings of satisfaction.

Will be measured by asking participants seven items about what mobility needs they have planned for (e.g., assistance with home environment, toileting, dressing, etc.) (yes/no). Total scores can range from 0 to 7, with higher values indicating higher rates of understanding and awareness.

Functional status will be measured using the PROMIS Cancer Function Brief, which is a validated 12-item scale scored on a 5-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating better functioning.

Engagement in clinical conversations (present/absent) with providers will be measured with four questions asking patients if they have had an interaction or consult with a physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech language pathologist, and/or rehabilitation physician (yes/no). Total scores can range from 0 to 4, with higher values indicating higher rates of engagement in clinical conversations with specialist providers.

This will be measured using our previously utilized 8-item measure of discussing end-of-life care, living will, healthcare proxy, and do-not-resuscitate orders with family and doctor (all yes/no questions).

This will be assessed by asking patients whether they have completed a Do Not Resuscitate order (DNR), living will, or identified a Health Care Proxy (HCP). All yes/no questions.
