158 | Chapter 6 Patients Twenty patients evaluated the final draft of the PDA. Patients reported that the time required to complete the final draft was appropriate (mean 37 minutes, range 15-60). All patients (n=20) were satisfied with the feasibility and wished they had seen this PDA during counseling. They graded this version of the PDA with an 8.7 (median, range 8.0-10.0). Final version of the PDA The final version consists of several components, including a narrated slideshow that gives an overview of early stage OPSCC and its treatments along with their corresponding side effects. Additionally, there were side-by-side comparisons of the treatments, videos featuring physicians explaining treatments, side effects and their management, as well as videos of survivors detailing their personal experiences. The PDA also contained knowledge-based and personal value-based questions, as well as a printable worksheet where patients could record their answers and add additional questions to discuss with their physician. An appendix containing definitions of important terms was included, along with a page that provided patients with additional information, if needed. The final version of the tool is available on https://beslissamen.nl/. This is a Dutch website that hosts multiple PDAs.
