简要总结
RATIONALE: Printed educational materials, such as the Facing Forward Series: Life After Cancer Treatment manual, may help make the transition from cancer patient to cancer survivor easier in patients who are finishing treatment for cancer. It is not yet known if the Facing Forward Series: Life After Cancer Treatment manual and The Cancer Information Service, Questions and Answers fact sheet is more effective than the The Cancer Information Service, Questions and Answers fact sheet alone in helping to make life after cancer treatment easier and to improve quality of life in patients with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, or chest cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well printed education materials work in assisting patients who are finishing treatment for stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, or chest cancer to make the transition from cancer patient to cancer survivor easier.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the efficacy of a psychoeducational intervention comprising a specific print intervention manual (Facing Forward Series: Life After Cancer Treatment [Facing Forward manual]) and a general print intervention fact sheet (The Cancer Information Service, Questions and Answers) vs the general print intervention fact sheet only on the uptake of recommended actions (e.g., developing a wellness plan after treatment, dealing with pain and fatigue, finding support groups to deal with feelings after treatment, and dealing with family issues after treatment) in patients completing active treatment for stage I-IIIA breast, prostate, colorectal, or thoracic cancer.
- Explore patient process evaluations of the Facing Forward manual in terms of its usability, comprehension, and satisfaction.
Secondary
- Examine psychological outcomes (i.e., depressive symptoms, fear of recurrence, health-related quality of life, and self-efficacy) as a function of exposure to the Facing Forward manual.
