Pilot Study of Financial Navigation Program for Improving Financial Toxicity Among Breast Cancer in China
The goal of this pilot study is to access the feasibility and impact of a financial navigation program on improving financial toxicity among patients with breast cancer in China.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Is the intervention feasible and acceptable among participants?
- Does the intervention enhance participants' cost-related health literacy?
- Does the intervention reduce participants' financial toxicity?
Researchers will compare the financial navigation program with usual oncology care to preliminarily evaluate its effectiveness.
Participants will receive comprehensive information support, including:
- Strategies on patient-physician costs discussion
- Skills for inquiring and tracking treatment-related costs
- Basic knowledge about health insurance
- Guidance on accessing and applying for financial assistance
- Suggestions for returning to normal life and work
- Strategies for holding a financial-related family meeting

Active Comparator: Usual Care
Participants will receive usual care during hospitalization and regular follow-up after discharge.
Participants have the freedom to utilize any financial resources, but financial navigators do not offer comprehensive information support.
When participants actively inquire about cancer treatment-related costs or financial planning strategies, financial navigators will answer their questions.

|
1 month after discharge in Financial Navigation Arm
|
Qualitative assessment of the intervention
Time Frame: 1 month after discharge in Financial Navigation Arm
|
Participants' experiences will be captured through one-on-one, semi-structured qualitative interviews.
|
1 month after discharge in Financial Navigation Arm
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Cost-related health literacy
Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month after discharge
|
The cost-related health literacy will be measured with homemade 10-item questionnaire, with higher scores indicating higher cost-related health literacy.
|
Baseline, 1 month after discharge
|
Financial toxicity
Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month after discharge
|
Financial toxicity will be measured with the Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity-Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Version 2 (COST-FACIT-V2); lower scores (range, 0-44) indicating greater financial toxicity.
|
Baseline, 1 month after discharge
|
