Sweden

19 interviews with relatives (both carriers and non-carriers)

Lynch syndrome

To explore experiences from and perceived impact on life after genetic testing for HNPCC

The importance of conveying the information to relatives was mentioned by almost all carriers and half of the non-carriers. Counsellees experienced a feeling of responsibility to inform relatives at risk, which was felt for both close relatives as well as for relatives with whom there is a geographical distance. Counsellees experienced disclosure as a burden, because they needed time to cope with their diagnosis. Expected reactions and views on individual functioning of relatives influenced disclosure. Relatives could not be informed when there were no or limited contact details available. In addition, it was found hard to find the right moment or to write a letter to relatives with whom there is no personal contact. Counsellees experienced disclosure as a burden, because they needed time to cope with their diagnosis. Expected reactions and views on individual functioning of relatives influenced disclosure. Relatives could not be informed when there were no or limited contact details available. In addition, it was found hard to find the right moment or to write a letter to relatives with whom there is no personal contact. However, sharing the information with relatives also could provide support. Disclosure should be performed in a way that stresses the importance, but also provides support and hope that cancer can be prevented. Communication aids were preferred.

Crotser & Dickerson 2010

Qualitative research design; in-depth interviews

United States, New York

19 interviews (of 17 nuclear families) with women informed about genetic risks on BRCA

BRCA 1/2

To describe experience of women learning about family BRCA1/2 mutation and to explore the meaning of genetic risk to female biological relatives of BRCA 1/2 mutation carriers

Counsellees thought that relatives should have the possibility to make an informed choice. Some counsellees even felt they had to convince relatives at risk of the importance of the information.
Disclosure went similar to communication of other non-urgent information. It was often a common discussed subject in families prior to genetic testing. Counsellees preferred face-to-face disclosure, in order to provide emotional support and physical presence when needed. Psychosocial support for counsellees was preferred as well. Some counsellees wished to prevent the burden on relatives and experienced feelings of guilt because of passing on the gene to future generations. At the same time however, relatives were needed to provide support.

Dancyger 2011

Qualitative research design; semi-structured interviews

United Kingdom

Interviews with 10 probands and 24 relatives

BRCA 1/2

To investigate how families communicate about BRCA genetic testing and how this communication may have been influenced by family relationships

Many counsellees felt responsible or even obliged for informing relatives at risk, because they had the right to know the information. In families with an open communication style, sharing the information with relatives was also congruent with the family’s pattern of communication. Counsellees felt discharged from their responsibility when they informed relatives who subsequently could inform their direct relatives. Participants perceived parents as responsible for informing children. However, they felt responsible for disclosure, some counsellees experienced it as a burden. Relatives were not informed because of no or limited contact with relatives, or because it was considered as irrelevant for male relatives or relatives without children. Disclosure was influenced by personal circumstances of relatives, not finding the right moment or because counsellees wished not to alarm relatives at risk.

Dheensa 2017

Qualitative research design; interviews

United Kingdom

35 interviews with probands (n = 7), relatives (n = 27) &partners (n = 1)

Diverse (onco-, cardio- and neurogenetics)

To explore problems around the use of family letters to communicate about genetic risk

Counsellees felt responsible for informing relatives at risk. Some even had the feeling they had to convince their relatives of the importance of the information. One participant thought that the HCP should be responsible as well. Some counsellees experienced informing relatives as a burden, because they had to cope with their own diagnosis while putting emotional and practical effort in sharing the information with relatives at risk. Family letters supported probands with disclosure and for relatives with getting referred to a clinical genetics centre. However, both probands and relatives experienced more pressure to respectively inform relatives or to get tested. Sending the family letter to relatives with whom there was no or poor relationships felt uncomfortable, as they believed an unexpected family letter could cause anxiety or distress in relatives. Support of an HCP, (e.g. a family communication officer) was preferred by some participants.

Forrest Keenan 2005

Qualitative research design; semi-structured interviews

United Kingdom

Interviews with counsellees attending genetic counselling for HD (n=16) or HBOC (n=21) and their partners (HD: n= 12, HBOC: n= 7)

HD & HBOC

To explore with whom individuals communicate, what determines whether information is passed on (or not), and what individuals see as their obligations.

In general, counsellees felt responsible for informing their relatives at risk, with parents being responsible for informing children. However, in the HBOC group there was more ambivalence about the responsibility of HCPs in disclosure. Some even felt responsible for convincing them of the importance. This feeling of responsibility was restricted to relatives with whom they had personal contact or with whom they had an emotional relationship. Women felt, more often than men, responsible for disclosure. The majority of participants was of the opinion that someone in the family should inform relatives at risk. However, also a majority thought that support of HCPs was needed. Barriers to inform relatives at risk were no or limited contact with relatives at risk, having no emotional relationship with relatives and that it was unclear who should be informed. In the HBOC group, some participants believed the information was not important for male relatives.

Forrest Keenan 2003

Qualitative research design; semi-structured interviews

United Kingdom, Aberdeen

37 interviews with counsellees (HD: n=16; HBOC: n=21) and 19 partners (HD: n=12, HBOC: n=7)

HD & HBOC

To explore the factors which influence whether patients share information with relatives about late-onset disease and with whom they share it.

Counsellees felt responsible for informing relatives at risk. HD participants were clear that this responsibility did not belong to HCPs; HBOC participants were more ambivalent regarding HCPs responsibility. In general, they believed parents were responsible for informing their children. Some counsellees expressed feelings of frustration when relatives did not inform their direct relatives. Disclosure was experienced as a burden by some counsellees, because they needed time to cope with their diagnosis. Barriers to disclosure were no or limited contact with relatives at risk, the wish to not cause alarm in relatives and the idea that the information would be irrelevant for some relatives. All counsellees with HD were in favour of the family-mediated approach, half of HBOC counsellees felt the same way. In the HBOC group, participants thought support of HCPs was needed to legitimize the information.

Foster 2007

Qualitative research design; in-depth interviews

United Kingdom

15 interviews with counsellees during the period prior to and after receiving their genetic test result

BRCA1/2

To investigate communication between healthy women, who had a genetic test for BRCA1/2 and their relatives both before and after the test result

Counsellees thought it was important to inform relatives at risk, because of the importance of making health decisions. In addition, they felt a responsibility to disclose the information. Some counsellees felt they had to convince their relatives of the importance of the information and felt frustrated when relatives decided to not have genetic testing. Barriers against disclosure were that counsellees tried to prevent worry or alarm in relatives at risk. It was mentioned there was a conflict experienced between the feeling of responsibility to inform and the wish to respect needs of their relatives. In addition, some mentioned that it was complex information to convey.

Gaff 2005

Qualitative research design; telephone semi-structured interviews

Australia, Melbourne

12 interviews with probands

HNPCC

To explore the experiences of probands with HNPCC when informing relatives and obtain their perceptions of the utility of genetic counselling and communication aids in this process

In general, counsellees were satisfied with the family-mediated approach, except one counselee. Participants wanted to provide relatives the possibility to make choices regarding their genetic risks. Although most participants felt prepared to inform relatives at risk, barriers against disclosure were mentioned, including no or limited contact with relatives at risk, no emotional relationship with relatives, expected disinterest of relatives and the expectation that genetic testing would not be available for relatives. Information material was preferred in case of family barriers. The majority of counsellees thought that information material should not contain information about which relatives should be informed. Some counsellees preferred communication aids.

Green 1997

Qualitative research design; in-depth interviews

United Kingdom, Cambridge

Interviews with counsellees at risk pre- (N= 46) and post genetic testing (N= 40)

HBOC

To explore to whom probands communicate, what determines whether information is passed on and what do probands see as their obligations

Counsellees felt responsible for informing relatives at risk because of their right to know, with parents being responsible for informing their children. The majority of counsellees was in favour of direct contact. However, it was expected that direct contact could cause more alarm or worry in relatives. Counsellees preferred to be informed in person, and not by telephone or letter. Barriers against informing were geographical distance, no or limited contact with relatives at risk and no emotional relationship with relatives and the wish to prevent worry or alarm in relatives. In addition, some counsellees mentioned it was unclear which relatives should be informed.

Mesters et al, 2005 (16)

Qualitative research design; in-depth interviews

The Netherlands

30 interviews with counsellees, of which 11 participants with a confirmed carriers

HNPCC

To investigate people’s perspective regarding information informing one’s biological family on the hereditary predisposition for HNPCC

Counsellees felt generally a moral obligation to inform relatives at risk. Another reason to inform relatives at risk was anticipated regret when not informing relatives. Respondents indicated that although internal cues are often felt, external cues of HCPs or medical organizations would give people the feeling that informing relatives was the right thing to do. Reasons to not inform relatives at risk were young age of relatives, conflicting opinions of probands and partners regarding offspring and having limited or no contact with relatives at risk. Counsellees thought that their task was to notify relatives at risk, while the task of HCPs would be to subsequently provide additional (written) information.

Ormondroyd 2014

Qualitative research design; semi-structured interviews

United Kingdom, Oxford

22 interviews with relatives, 18 HCM en 4 LQTS

Inherited cardiac disease

To explore the process of cascade genetic testing within families for either of the two most common ICCs (LQTS & HCM), to understand how people learn about risk and make decisions about undergoing PSGT, to evaluate the psychosocial impact of such testing and to explore attitudes to direct contact of relatives about the ICC and availability of PSGT

Participants clearly appreciated to be informed about their genetic risks. However, sometimes family barriers or the wish to prevent harm made disclosure complex. Counsellees experienced barriers against disclosure, including no or limited contact with relatives at risk, considering information not relevant for certain relatives (e.g. those at older age), no emotional relationship with relatives and the wish to prevent worry or alarm in relatives. The majority of counsellees was in favour of direct contact by the HCP, with consent of the affected relative. Benefits of direct contact would be that direct contact could overcome family barriers, that it can help improve relationships, that probands are not qualified to inform relatives at risk and that an HCP could legitimize information provided by the proband. However, disadvantages would be that family conflicts and personal circumstances of relatives would not be taken into consideration and that direct contact could cause more worry in relatives that a family-mediated approach.

Pentz 2005

Qualitative research design; semi-structured interviews

United States, Texas

Probands, relatives and spouses of 16 families (N=80)

HNPCC (12/16 families mutation detected)

To describe HNPCC family members' perceptions about who has a right to know about a genetic mutation in the family and who should disclose this information to family members, with a focus on the role that should be played by health professionals in disseminating this information

Counsellees felt they had a responsibility to inform relatives. Some also thought HCPs had a certain responsibility. The majority thought that parents would be responsible for informing their children, one third of them considered the HCP responsible. Counsellees considered a conflict of duties regarding health importance, the right to know of relatives and the right on privacy of probands. They considered the health importance more important than the right on privacy. The majority thought that someone in the family should inform relatives at risk, one third believed that the HCP would be suited as well. Some believed consent should be asked for direct contact. Benefits of direct contact would be that correct information would be conveyed, barriers against disclosure could be overcome and that privacy would be warranted. Some participants mentioned confidentiality of probands and believed that individual test results should not be shared with relatives.

Peterson 2003

Qualitative research design; semi-structured interviews

United States, Texas

Interviews with relatives (N=29) and partners (N=10)

HNPCC

To describe how information about the identification of an HNPCC gene mutation was disseminated in these families, when and under what circumstances this information was shared and how relatives reacted to and acted on this information

Counsellees were generally satisfied with the family-mediated approach. They viewed themselves as responsible for informing relatives, with parents being responsible for informing their children. Probands thought it was important for relatives to have genetic testing, as this was a possibility to gain health information. A majority felt they had to convince relatives of the importance of the information. One family believed that relatives should make their own decision without interference by others. Several members expressed their wish to prevent worry or alarm in relatives at risk.

Ratnayake 2011

Qualitative research design; semi-structured telephone interviews

Australia, Sidney

50 interviews with relatives (both carriers and non-carriers)

BRCA1/2

To investigate the information dissemination preferences of individuals from families at risk of developing HBOC.

The majority of counsellees preferred to inform their relatives themselves, some with assistance of HCPs. Half of the counsellees were in favour of direct contact as well. Follow-up of probands regarding disclosure was preferred. The majority of counsellees preferred disclosure by letter, some personally and only a few by telephone. A personal explanation about the letter was preferred. Relatives preferred a personal family letter, with stepwise information and in simple language.

Van den Nieuwenhoff 2006

Qualitative research design; semi-structured interviews

The Netherlands

Interviews with probands (N=8) and relatives (N=8)

Familial hypercholesterolemia

To explore how the information packages influenced the decision of index patients to disclosure genetic information to their relatives (and the quality of the disclosure); and the way the packages influenced the decision of relatives to be tested

Counsellees viewed probands as having the responsibility to inform relatives at risk, which was limited to first-degree relatives. However, disclosure was experienced as burdening, which resulted in some probands to avoid it. Barriers experienced with the family-mediated approach were that informing relatives with whom there was no or limited contact was complex and belief that relatives would not be interested. The majority of counsellees was in favour of direct contact by the HCP. Benefits were that HCPs could legitimize information provided by the proband and that HCPs would have a neutral role in disclosure. However, they also thought that the right of privacy would be harmed. One proband thought direct contact would be better, although he would prefer to be informed by someone family. All participants were in favour of personal contact instead of disclosure by letter. Adjuvant information material was preferred. It was perceived as supportive with disclosure. In addition, information material was a cue to action, both for probands to inform relatives at risk as well as for relatives to have genetic testing. Stepwise information was preferred. A disadvantage of the family letter would be that it could induce fear in relatives, which could a barrier for having genetic testing.

Vavolizza 2015

Qualitative research design; open-ended focus groups and interviews

United States, New York

50 interviews representing 32 families, both probands and relatives

Inherited cardiac disease

To determine the attitudes and beliefs of participants regarding their subjective experience of receiving a cardiogenetic diagnosis, the motivations and goals behind disclosing genetic testing information and the extent to which individuals believe they should share this information with their family were investigated

Counsellees felt responsible for informing relatives at risk. A majority believed an individual is even obliged to share the information with relatives, a few thought this should not be an obligation. Relatives should have the possibility to make an informed decision regarding their own health and health of future generations. However, barriers against disclosure were reported, including the wish to prevent worry or fear in relatives, that it was hard to convey complex information or answer relatives' questions and that being the bad messenger was burdening. Counsellees reported to feel lonely in this disclosure process. In addition, they experienced feelings of frustration, either because relatives decided not to have genetic testing or because relatives did not inform their direct relatives. Written information material of the counsellor was preferred as support.

Whyte 2016

Qualitative research design; semi-structured interviews

United Kingdom, Cardiff

Interviews with relatives who had undergone predictive genetic testing (N=9)

Inherited cardiac disease

To gain a better understanding of the process of family communication from individuals who had received either a positive or a negative predictive result for HCM or LQTS

Counsellees considered it important to inform their relatives about their genetic risks. They felt they were responsible for disclosure, with parents being responsible for informing their children. Counsellees experienced barriers against disclosure, including no or limited contact with relatives, geographical distance, having no emotional relationship with relatives, expected disinterest of relatives and the expectation that relatives would not understand the information. Furthermore, it was unclear who should be informed, and some thought they should convince relatives of the importance of the information. Some counsellees felt frustrated when relatives did not inform their direct relatives. All participants preferred disclosure in person above disclosure by letter. The majority searched extra information on the internet. However, some experienced an information overload, which caused more worry. Stepwise information is preferred.

Lynch syndrome

To ascertain which educational materials probands with lynch syndrome provide to relatives and identify relationships between receiving educational materials and pursuing clinical follow-up, including genetic counselling and testing

Respondents reported several barriers against disclosure, including no or limited contact with relatives at risk, the wish to prevent alarm in relatives, and expected disinterest in relatives. Some counsellees decided to not inform certain relatives, because of high age or disease. In addition, some informed certain relatives with the idea that they would subsequently inform their direct relatives. Counsellees preferred extra information material concerning amongst others advices regarding timing of controls, guidelines for young adults and consequences for insurance or mortgages.

Gilbar & Barnoy 2012

Quantitative research design; survey study

Israel

564 counsellees

Prenatal screening & cancer genetic screening

To explore patients' attitudes to disclosure of genetic information to relatives and to examine the similarities and differences between prenatal screening and for carrier testing for cancer

Counsellees in both groups felt it was important to inform relatives. The intention to inform was higher in the HBOC group than in HD group. However, different motivations were mentioned. In the oncogenetic group, respondents thought it was important because of the health implications. Having treatment options was related to the intention to inform relatives at risk. In addition, they felt responsible for disclosure. They thought relatives had the right to know. Other motivations mentioned were that the information was familial, not personal and because of good relationships with their relatives. Respondents believed direct contact by the HCP was only a possibility when consent of the proband was received. Of the participants, 5.3% did not intend to inform relatives, with being the main reason that genetic information is personal and not familial.

Hayat Roshanai 2009 and 2010 (2 papers)

Quantitative research design; randomized survey study

Sweden, Uppsala

147 counsellees and 81 at-risk relatives (response rate: 66%)

HBOC & HNPCC

To explore to which extent counsellees disclosed the genetic information to their at-risk relatives, counsellees experience of sharing genetic information with at-risk relatives and how at-risk relatives were informed and their emotional reactions toward receiving genetic information. In addition, an intervention, consisting of providing additional information by a nurse specialist to probands, was investigated.

68% of participants reported neutral feelings regarding disclosure. The majority of participating relatives was satisfied with the disclosure procedure. In the intervention group, 53% of participants believed someone in the family should inform relatives, compared to 29% in favour of a direct contact approach by the HCP. These percentages in the control group were respectively 33% and 47%.
