Improving Self-Management in Head and Neck Cancer
14. Januar 2020 aktualisiert von: Hoda Badr, Baylor College of Medicine
By teaching skills to improve the coordination of care and support in couples coping with head and neck cancer (HNC), this couple-based psychosocial intervention holds great promise for improving self-management, reducing costly hospitalizations and treatment interruptions, and improving both partners' quality of life.
Home-based delivery will enhance future dissemination and outreach to those who do not have access to psychosocial services or live far away from their care centers.
If found effective, the intervention may also have salutary downstream effects on the health and well-being of HNC patients and their partners.

Detaillierte Beschreibung
Patients treated with radiation (XRT) for head and neck cancers (HNCs) experience significant side effects such as abnormally reduced salivation, difficulty swallowing, and taste changes even after they have been definitively treated.
To control side effects and minimize discomfort, intensive self-care protocols are prescribed, but adherence is poor.
Partners (spouses/significant others) can play a critical role in supporting adherence, but often lack knowledge, experience high rates of distress, and display poor communication (e.g., critical or controlling), that can interfere with patient self-care.
The investigators have developed a home-based couples skills-training (CST) intervention that teaches: 1) self-management skills to control/prevent side-effects; 2) communication skills to facilitate coordination of care and support; and 3) strategies to improve communal coping and confidence in the ability to work as a team.
The goal is to reduce healthcare utilization and improve multiple domains of patient and partner QOL.
Specific aims are to: develop and evaluate the content and materials of the CST intervention (AIM 1) and evaluate its feasibility and acceptability (AIM 2).
The multidisciplinary team will review and evaluate the content we have already developed based on the ongoing work with HNC couples (K07).
Once content is finalized, tailored manuals will be developed for patients and partners and evaluated through two focus groups (AIM 1).
The investigators expect that most couples (> 60%) approached will agree to participate and that CST will be well-accepted (AIM 2).
Knowledge gained will be used to refine CST and to collect data on effect sizes and variation for a larger trial.
Innovation: CST takes a multiple-behavioral approach to addressing and preventing HNC treatment side effects and, in the process, seeks to improve multiple domains of QOL.
It is also the first program in HNC that actively involves both members of the couple to address barriers in the home environment in which self-management occurs.
Finally, this study conceptualizes the couple relationship as a resource and leverages that resource to improve patient care and outcomes.
Impact: Home-based delivery will enhance future dissemination and outreach to the target population.
Overall, CST holds great promise for improving patient self-management behaviors, reducing costly hospitalizations and treatment interruptions, and improving multiple aspects of patient and partner QOL.

Experimental: Couples Skill-Training (CST)
CST provides education about acute and long-term side-effects of HNC and teaches: 1) self-management skills to control/prevent side-effects; 2) communication skills to facilitate coordination of care; and, 3) strategies to improve communal coping and confidence in the ability to work as a team.
|
Patients and partners each receive a workbook and 6 one-hour telephone sessions with a Masters level trained interventionist.
Manual content is tailored based on role (patient or partner).
Couples participate together via speaker phone for half the sessions and patients and partners receive separate (individual) intervention calls for the other half of the sessions.
|
Kein Eingriff: Usual Medical Care (UMC)
Patients receive standard symptom management education by their health care team.
