简要总结
This clinical trial studies a palliative care intervention in improving symptom control and quality of life in patients with stage II-IV non-small cell lung cancer and their family caregivers. Palliative care programs can provide patients and their caregivers with information on how to manage their symptoms, maintain health and well-being, and access supportive care services. An interdisciplinary palliative care model may effectively link lung cancer patients to the appropriate supportive care services in a timely fashion.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Adapt a Palliative Care Intervention (PCI) tested in a National Cancer Institute (NCI) funded Program Project (P01) for dissemination to other oncology settings.
II. Determine the impact of the PCI on patient outcomes including symptom control, quality of life (QOL), and distress as compared to the usual care group.
III. Determine the impact of the PCI on family caregivers (FCG) outcomes including caregiver burden, caregiver distress, skills preparation and QOL as compared to the usual care group.
IV. Test the effects of the PCI on patient resource utilization as compared to the usual care group.

研究组 & 干预措施
Phase I (usual care)
Participants receive usual care. This phase will aid in identifying usual care patterns in each site and provide an audit of system utilization as well as finalization of the educational materials for Phase II.
干预措施: quality-of-life assessment (Other)

Participants receive usual care. This phase will aid in identifying usual care patterns in each site and provide an audit of system utilization as well as finalization of the educational materials for Phase II.
干预措施: questionnaire administration (Other)
Phase II (individualized palliative care)
Participants receive individualized palliative care comprised of tailored educational sessions designed for each patient and FCG that have been modified based on patterns observed in Phase I. The first patient teaching session will cover physical and psychological areas and the second will cover social and spiritual areas. These sessions will be completed within 2 weeks of accrual. A third teaching session is held with the FCG alone to give the FCG the opportunity to discuss their perspectives and focus on their needs. Patients will be asked to identify topics they want included and which if any should be omitted which provides for tailoring of the content to the patient's needs and preferences.
