简要总结
This project aims to enhance the support for patients with breast and bowel cancer after treatment. Current follow-up care includes either self-management with patient-initiated contacts (breast cancer) or scheduled hospital visits for scans/tests for recurrence (bowel cancer). Building on extensive experience with online patient self-reporting of symptoms during treatment, the study will develop, implement and evaluate satisfaction with an improved electronic system to engage breast and bowel cancer survivors to self-report symptoms/problems online from home and get immediate tailored advice for self-management or hospital contact. The reports are displayed real-time in the hospital records alongside scans/tests to inform clinical management.
详细描述
A structured plan of development, evaluation and implementation is proposed, based on the Medical Research Council (MRC) complex interventions framework and the principles of Action Research model (namely; Purpose choice on solving practical problems; Contextual focus; Data that helps track changes and sense making; Participation in research process and Knowledge diffusion). Action research is suited to identifying problems in clinical practice and helping develop potential solutions in order to improve practice. The study will use an experimental action research approach incorporating the action research cycle (Plan Do Study Act).
The effectiveness evaluation of patient/clinician acceptance, feasibility, patient benefits/satisfaction will be performed using a non-randomised 'Before-After study' approach, followed by immediate implementation in practice for faster patient benefits.
Main outcomes measured will include:
- Patient-Reported Outcomes questionnaires: quality of life, symptom control, and self-efficacy.
- Clinical measures: number of hospital contacts, recurrence rates.
- Process measures: survivors compliance with self-reports, clinical tests attendance; using online self-management resources.
The project will be structured in four phases:
