Take the Fight in Supporting and Empowering Patients With Cancer

29. juni 2018 opdateret af: Wake Forest University Health Sciences

A Pilot Study of 'Take the Fight' as Community-Based Participatory Research

This pilot clinical trial studies Take the Fight in supporting and empowering patients with cancer through their treatment process. Patients with cancer are faced with many obstacles created by the current state of the healthcare system. The purpose of Take the Fight is to train college students, also called patients' navigators or strategists, to assist and support patients to navigate into the healthcare system and receive the care they need. The strategists are matched with patients and attend/coordinate most patients' medical appointments. The strategists also advance communications between the patient and the medical staff to facilitate both the exchange of medical information as well as increase the patient's compliance with treatment. Take the Fight may improve the health and quality of life outcomes of cancer patients during critical treatment periods by increasing treatment compliance, eliminating barriers to better care, and increasing clinical trial participation.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Delineate the benefits of and limitations to having Take the Fight strategists, performing as lay-navigators, as perceived by both the patients and the students.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Investigate changes in self-reported outcomes for patients and the Take the Fight strategists.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive patient navigation via strategists from the Take the Fight for 8 weeks. Patients also complete interviews regarding perceived physical, logistical, psychosocial, and informational challenges experienced prior to meeting with strategists/navigators and how challenges were addressed by navigator or others, perceived benefits or limitations of navigator assistance. Strategists also complete interviews regarding their perceptions on how patients benefited from participation, challenges patients experienced that were directly or indirectly related to their cancer diagnosis and treatment, how these concerns were addressed, barriers to addressing these concerns, and patient health literacy.

After completion of study, patients and strategists are followed up for 8-10 weeks.
