Shared Decision Making in Patients With Lung Cancer

Non-random purposive sampling will be used to select key respondents to participate in in-depth interviews. Snowball sampling, where potential participants are asked to identify others who may be willing to participate, as well as convenience sampling, will be utilized. For patients, we will aim for diversity regarding age, sex, education level, and annual household income. For other stakeholders (including thoracic surgeons, nurses, psychoanalysts, hospital administrators, molecular testing company staff, and insurance company staff), the representativeness in region, seniority, position, and attitude toward both molecular testing and SDM will be considered.
