Hospice and End-of-life Symptom Monitoring & Support Using an Automated System Designed for Family Caregivers (SCP)
Enhancing End-of-Life and Bereavement Outcomes Among Cancer Caregivers: Symptom Care by Phone for Hospice Caregiver Support and Cancer Symptom Relief
Přehled studie
Detailní popis
Individuals dying from cancer often live out their lives at home with a host of poorly controlled symptoms. Ineffective symptom management results, in part, from inadequate monitoring of patients once they leave the treatment-focused arena of the clinical setting. The changing pattern of symptoms is challenging as care strategies and recommendations from previous encounters with healthcare providers become quickly outdated. The burden of end-of-life care largely falls to family caregivers, usually a spouse or partner, who feel enormous pressure to provide physical and supportive care but often lacks the knowledge and skill resulting in significant caregiver burden and distress that may extend into bereavement.
This prospective, clinical trial proposes to develop and test a telecommunication system, Symptom Care by Phone- Hospice that has been designed to bridge the divide between home and palliative care support for patients at the end of life and their family caregiver. SCP-Hospice has three elements: 1) daily monitoring of symptoms common at end of life, 2) automated alerting of the hospice nurse case manager about symptoms that have exceeded a pre-set threshold for symptom severity or caregiver distress about symptoms, and 3) automated, just in time, tailored care management strategies for the caregiver to implement to address the patient's symptoms. Caregivers call the SCP-Hospice system daily to report patient symptoms and then are immediately provided automated, tailored care suggestions paired to the specific symptom profile.
The specific aims of the study are to test whether the SCP-Hospice intervention reduces severity and distress from 12 different symptoms and whether it decreases caregiver burden, anxiety, depressed mood and distress about the patient's symptoms and improves caregiver sleep when compared with usual care. The mechanisms that explain how SCP-Hospice affect these outcomes also will be explored. Other aims will compare patient care strategies utilized by caregivers and evaluate caregiver and Hospice nurse satisfaction with the SCP system.

SCP-Hospice Alert
|
The intervention in Project 1 SCP utilizes a multi-faceted system.
The SCP-Hospice symptom management model will include several features: 1) a computer-based telecommunication system to monitor symptoms as perceived and reported by the family caregiver; 2) tailored care management messages that SCP provides directly to the caregivers to promote care management based on the individualized patient symptom profile and caregiver distress; and 3) an automated alerting function that notifies the hospice nurse of unrelieved symptoms that have exceeded a pre-set threshold.
|
Žádný zásah: Usual Care
Caregiver calls into monitoring system to report the patient's end of life symptoms but does not receive feedback about the symptoms and the hospice nurse does not receive the information.
