Peer Support Program for Improving Quality of Life Among Head and Neck Patients, Connecting Through Cancer Trial

2026年7月13日 更新者：Ryan Li, MD、OHSU Knight Cancer Institute

Connecting Through Cancer: Feasibility of a Peer Support Program for Head and Neck Patients

This clinical trial tests whether a peer support program is feasible for head and neck cancer patients. Social support at the time of diagnosis has been shown to improve head and neck cancer quality of life before and after treatment. However, not all patients have a strong social support system. Recent research has shown that peer support programs have the potential to address unmet social support needs among cancer patients. These programs involve cancer survivors (peer mentors) providing emotional and informational support to cancer patients (mentees) earlier in their disease course. Peer support programs may also reduce caregiver burden by providing an additional source of support for the patient. A one-on-one peer support program may be feasible for patients with head and neck cancer and their caregivers.

大体时间
Utilization of the mentorship program
大体时间：Up to 6 months
Mean and standard deviation will be reported for number of times the mentor and mentee have made contact.
Up to 6 months
Mentorship conversation topics
大体时间：Up to 6 months
Proportions of categories will be reported for topics discussed between mentor and mentee.
Up to 6 months
Rating scale for match
大体时间：Up to 6 months
Mean and standard deviation will be reported for rating scale for match (in terms of similar demographics and cancer experience). This will be on a 1-10 scale, with 10 being the most similar match.
Up to 6 months
Qualitative data on the benefits and challenges of the mentorship program
大体时间：Up to 6 months
A subset of mentees (estimated n=10-15) will complete structured exit interviews at 6 months. Interviews will explore perceived benefits, challenges, barriers to engagement, impact on decision-making, and recommendations for program improvement.
Up to 6 months
Satisfaction with peer mentor contacts

Satisfaction will be measured using a survey that was used in a prior pilot study on a one-on-one cancer peer support program by Valanjow and Weis (2024). The survey contains 14 statements and mentees will be asked to rate how much they feel the statement applies. The scale ranges from 1-5 (1= not applicable and 5=fully applies). Mean and standard deviation of the Likert score will be reported for each item at each time point.
