Enhancing Survivorship Care Planning for Patients With Localized Prostate Cancer Using A Couple-focused Web-based Tailored Symptom Self-management Program (SCP)
The purpose of this research study is to examine the feasibility of the enhanced survivorship care plans (ESCPs, regular SCPs with the a web-based couple-focused symptom self-management project (PERC) or National Cancer Institute prostate cancer web links) and to conduct an initial benefit assessment of enhanced survivorship care plans among prostate cancer patients transitioning from active treatment to post-treatment self-management, and their partners.
Participation of this study lasts for about for 16 weeks. Depending on participants' need for information, it takes 10-30 minutes of their time each week to review the information about prostate cancer.
Eligible and consented patients with newly treated localized prostate cancer and your partner (couples) are randomly assigned to the regular survivorship care plan (SCPs) with the NCI website or the enhanced survivorship care plans (SCP plus the web-based prostate cancer education program, PERC) groups. They complete baseline (T1, prior to randomization) and 4-month post-T1 follow-up measures (T2).
調査の概要
詳細な説明
Methods: A two-group randomized controlled pretest-posttest design will be used and collect data at baseline (T1) and 4 months later (T2) among 50 patients completing initial treatment for localized prostate cancer and their partners. First, the investigators will assess the feasibility of ESCP by recruitment, enrollment, and retention rates, program satisfaction with the ESCP, and perceived ease of use of the ESCP. To achieve the secondary aim, the ESCP users will be compared with the standardized SCP users and assess their primary outcomes of QOL (overall, physical, emotional, and social QOL), secondary outcomes (reduction in negative appraisals and improvement in self-efficacy, social support, and health behaviors to manage symptoms), and number of visits to post-treatment care services at T1 and T2. The primary and secondary outcomes are assessed using measurements with sound psychometrical properties. The investigators will use a qualitative and quantitative mixed methods approach to achieve the research aims.
Conclusions: The results from this study will help design a definitive randomized trial to test the efficacy of the ESCPs, a potentially scalable program, to enhance supportive care for prostate cancer patients and their families.

プラセボコンパレーター:Survivorship Care Plan (SCP)
The SCP group (control) participants were directed to the National Cancer Institute PC website (NCI) (http://www.cancer.gov/types/prostate),
|
Participants visit the NCI prostate cancer website in addition to their standardized post-treatment survivorship care
|
|
実験的:Enhanced SCP (ESCP)
ESCP consists of the standard SCP that is enhanced by a couple-focused, tailored mHealth PC education program, the Patient Education Resources for Couples, to improve symptom management at home.
|
In addition to their standardized post-treatment survivorship care, participants visit the prostate cancer education resources for couples (PERC) website that was based on scientific evidence and input from stakeholders including PC patients, partners, and cancer care providers.
Participants learn about skills and knowledge about how to enhance their positive appraisals of symptoms and self-efficacy in symptom management through information and skills training, fostering healthy behaviors, and facilitating social support

The usage of Web-Based Intervention Sessions is determined by the percentage of participants who logged into the study website among those who have been randomly assigned to the intervention group.
Patient-Reported Symptoms are determined by patient's responses on their appraisal of prostate cancer symptoms and general symptoms.
1=patient reported the symptom and the symptom webpage reviewed; 0=patient reported the symptom and no related webpage reviewed OR patient did not report the symptom but the webpage reviewed

Program satisfaction determined by the 11-item Participant Satisfaction Scale measured the level of program satisfaction.
The first to tenth items ranged from 1=not satisfied to 5=extremely satisfied.
The eleventh item ranged from 1=extremely not to 4=definitely yes.

Change in FACT-G Scores
時間枠:Baseline upon enrollment, Month 4
|
Change in QOL determined using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy General Scale (FACT-G) v.4, a 27-item measure yielding total score and scores for physical, social/family, emotional, and functional well-being of demonstrated reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change.
FACT-G consists of 4 subscales: physical well-being (PWB), functional well-being (FWB), emotional well-being (EWB) and social well-being (SWB).
Scores on the four subscales are summed to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 108 with higher scores indicating better quality of life.
Change from baseline is the post-Baseline values minus the Baseline value.

Change in Appraisal of Prostate Cancer-Specific Symptoms
時間枠:Baseline upon enrollment, Month 4
|
The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) is a comprehensive instrument designed to evaluate patient function and bother after prostate cancer treatment.
EPIC will be used to measure change in appraisal of symptoms scores among patients from Baseline (T1) to T2 (4 months post T1).
EPIC contains 26 items within 5 domains: Urinary Incontinence, Urinary Irritative/Obstructive, Bowel, Sexual, and Hormonal.
Response options for each EPIC item form a Likert scale, and multi-item scale scores are transformed linearly to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores representing opposite results by role: patient with better appraisal of symptoms and partner with worse appraisal of symptoms.
Change from baseline is the post-Baseline values minus the Baseline value.
