Nurse-Led Caregiver Support for Older Adults With Advanced Lung Cancer (ICSM)

12 luglio 2026 aggiornato da: National Taiwan University Hospital

Expanding Caregiving Capacities for Caregivers of Older Adults With Newly Diagnosed Advanced Lung Cancer: A Study of Current Status and Evaluation of the Integrating Nurse-Led and Resource Utilization-Based Caregiver Support Model (ICSM)

This two-phase study aims to examine the current status of older adults with newly diagnosed locally advanced or advanced non-small cell lung cancer and their primary family caregivers, and to evaluate the effects of the Integrating Nurse-Led and Resource Utilization-Based Caregiver Support Model (ICSM). Phase I is a cross-sectional correlational study assessing distress, unmet care needs, resource awareness and utilization, social support, and health promotion practice. Phase II is a two-group randomized controlled trial comparing ICSM plus oncology case manager care with oncology case manager care and usual hospital care. The intervention includes nurse-led education and counseling, symptom management, emotional coping, problem-solving, social resource use, caregiving activity arrangement, and use of a web-based or LINE-based integrated resource system.

Descrizione dettagliata

This study is designed as a two-phase, three-year study. Phase I is a cross-sectional correlational study conducted to examine physical and psychological distress, daily function, unmet care needs, knowledge and utilization of resources, social support, and health promotion practice among older adults with locally advanced or advanced non-small cell lung cancer and their primary family caregivers.

Phase II is a two-group, 12-month randomized controlled trial. Eligible patient-caregiver dyads will be randomized to either an experimental group receiving the Integrating Nurse-Led and Resource Utilization-Based Caregiver Support Model (ICSM) plus oncology case manager care, or a control group receiving oncology case manager care and usual hospital care. The ICSM intervention includes nurse-led education and counseling and use of an information and resource platform designed to support lung cancer care, caregiver self-care, distress management, and health promotion.

The main intervention components include understanding non-small cell lung cancer treatment recommendations, symptom detection and management, care of aging-related problems, coping with emotional distress, problem-solving and social resource use, maintaining social function during caregiving, relaxation skills, and use of information and resources related to cancer care, long-term care, and caregiver support. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and at follow-up time points after the first treatment. Generalized estimating equations will be used to examine intervention effects over time.

Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Change in Caregiver Quality of Life as Measured by the Caregiver Quality of Life Index-Cancer (CQOLC)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the first treatment
Caregiver quality of life will be assessed using the Caregiver Quality of Life Index-Cancer (CQOLC). The CQOLC is a 35-item instrument using a 5-point Likert-type scale from 0 to 4 to assess quality of life among family caregivers of patients with cancer, including physical, emotional, family, and social functioning. The total score ranges from 0 to 140, with higher scores indicating better caregiver quality of life after reverse scoring of negatively worded items.
