Navigated Early Survivorship Transition in Improving Survivorship Care Planning in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Cancer and Their Caregivers (NEST)

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. In a new model of survivorship care planning, planning started within the first two months of therapy, followed by additional survivorship care planning at the end of therapy or 6 months post diagnosis, evaluate the proportion of eligible survivors and participating caregivers who complete the survivorship care planning.
II. In a feasibility study of survivors and their identified support caregivers (70 survivors with or with a participating caregiver at VICC and 70 survivors with or without a participating caregiver at MMC), evaluate psychosocial well-being, engagement, resource utilization and adherence to recommended treatment and follow-up guidelines.
III. Assess the outcomes of survivors and participating caregivers treated at VICC and MMC to further individualize survivorship planning that will incorporate the optimal timing and content together with socioeconomic and cultural considerations. The pillars of this novel intervention (i.e., survivorship care planning, psychosocial assessment and patient engagement) are responsive to the recommendations of the IOM. The project proposed herein will build directly upon our work in the P20 grant and will set the stage for the planned R01 RCT, which would be directly responsive to NCI PAR 12-275. The ultimate aim is to inform best practices in survivorship planning in community and academic cancer centers, serving diverse, including underserved minority populations, with sufficient power to detect differences between treatment groups.
OUTLINE: Patients and their caregivers participate in an upfront survivorship care planning session.
Patients and their caregivers meet with the Survivorship Nurse Practitioner (NP) at the VICC or the Nurse Navigator (NN) at MMC during an initial survivorship care planning session (30 minutes total) to identify resources that may be needed during and following therapy. The patient and their caregiver then meet together with the NP or NN (60 minutes total) to discuss the planned therapy, the expected course of recovery and recommendations for follow-up, and are provided with a preliminary survivorship care plan (SCP). Caregivers also receive the National Cancer Institute publication, "When Someone You Love is Being Treated for Cancer". Patients and their caregivers proceed with therapy. At the end of therapy, patients and their caregivers schedule a one-hour visit with the NP or NN for a booster survivorship care planning session (SCPS). At this booster session, they will review the questionnaires and receive an individualized final SCPS and the "REACH for Survivorship" handbook.
After completion of treatment for cancer, patients and their caregivers complete follow up assessments at the end of treatment and again two months after the end of treatment.

Experimental: NEST Intervention
Patients (PTs) and their caregivers (CGs) receive educational intervention, follow-up care, psychosocial assessment and care, and questionnaire administration interventions by completing psychosocial questionnaires and meeting with a nurse practitioner (NP) or nurse navigator (NN) for an initial survivorship care planning session to review the expected course of therapy and recovery, identify resources that may be needed and provide recommendations for follow-up.
At the end of their treatment EOT), PTs and their CGs complete a 2nd set of questionnaires and meet with the NP/NN for a booster survivorship care planning session.
They will receive an individualized final survivorship care plan and related materials.
2 months after EOT, PTs and their CGs complete a final set of questionnaires.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Patient and caregiver engagement, measured by the PHQ, IES-R, Distress Thermometer, & Effective Consumer Scale-17 & Psychosocial well-being, measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ), Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), & Distress Thermometer
Time Frame: Up to 2 months following the end of therapy
|
Will be compared between participants (patients and caregivers) and between those treated at VICC and MMC.
Will use continuous scores on the depression, anxiety, and somatic symptom scales for the primary analyses; supplemental analyses will examine the percentage of patients above and below the recommended clinical cut-offs on these scales before and after the interventions.
Will develop a regression model with the treatment group as the primary variable of interest.
