SUMMARY:Psychology Online Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In the treatment of cancer\, doctors in resource-constrained settings are routinely required to make high stake decisions under uncertain conditions along with rising burden of cancer\, substantial patient load on doctors\, and poor healthcare infrastructure that further complicate the decision process. However\, very few studies examine the real world decision process given the prevalence of such factors. Using the naturalistic decision making framework\, this study aimed to understand the critical decisions that doctors face in the treatment of cancer and how they take such decisions. 25 doctors working in a government hospital in India were interviewed and the data was subjected to thematic analysis. Three central concepts were identified: communicating the illness\, different shades of paternalism during the treatment process\, and the complexity of the decision process. The critical decisions that doctors faced were found to be treatment-related decisions\, resource constraint decisions\, and difficulties in communicating the illness. The study provides deep insights into how the doctors “tailor” the decisions according to the unique contextual realities of individual patients. It further elucidates the intersecting nature of these contextual factors and how they influence the decision process. The study makes significant theoretical and practical implications\, such as designing support systems and training programs that enhance decision-making in cancer care within resource-limited healthcare settings. \nAbout the Speaker: Nishtha Jain received her Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology\, Delhi. Her doctoral thesis explores how decisions are made in the treatment of cancer from the perspective of doctors\, family caregivers\, and patients. Her work has been published in high impact journals like Sage\, Frontiers\, and Routledge. She has been the recipient of various national and international awards\, such as\, The Gary Klein Award for best contribution to NDM Theory at 17th International Conference on Naturalistic Decision-Making\, Auckland University of Technology\, the Emerging Psychologist Award at 34th Annual Convention of National Academy of Psychology (NAOP)\, CHRIST University; and the ICSSR Travel award to participate in international seminars. She has also qualified for the UGC-NET Junior and Senior Research Fellowship. She has actively presented her work at numerous international and national conferences. Currently\, she is working as an Assistant Professor at the Jindal School of Psychology & Counselling\, O.P. Jindal Global University\, Sonipat. She has also delivered guest lectures for M.Sc. Cognitive science students at IIT-Delhi.  Her research expertise includes\, decision-making\, social rationality\, field studies\, qualitative research\, Natural language processing (NLP)\, statistics using R\, and Python.  \nWe look forward to your active participation.
