简要总结
This clinical trial develops and tests whether a culturally informed patient navigation program, Community-Focused Patient Navigation (CFPN), works to reduce delays between diagnosis and treatment in American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) cancer patients living in rural California. AIAN communities face some of the most severe cancer disparities in the United States, including higher death rates, later-stage diagnoses, and limited access to timely, culturally responsive care. This may be due to barriers such as rural isolation, divided referral systems, or a lack of trust in mainstream healthcare systems. Patient navigation is a care delivery model designed to guide a patient through the healthcare system and address the barriers that prevent patients from accessing timely and effective care. The CFPN program is culturally tailored and designed with AIAN communities in mind. The program provides the patient with a treatment plan based on the patient's unique needs, goals, and barriers. This may be an effective way to reduce delays between diagnosis and treatment in AIAN cancer patients living in rural California.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Conduct a comprehensive community-informed planning process to co-design the Community-Focused Patient Navigation (CFPN) program.
II. Develop and implement an evidence and practice-informed, culturally responsive, CFPN program.
III. Evaluate the implementation and impact of the CFPN program using Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) and the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) frameworks, along with Indigenous evaluation practices.
OUTLINE: Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 objectives.

结局指标
主要结局
Focus group themes and emerging codes
时间窗: Through study completion, up to 2 years
Will compare themes and emerging codes utilizing qualitative coding computer software. A report will summarize participant responses for each focus group and will be discussed with the Toiyabe Indian Health Program (THIP) co-principal investigator (Co-PI) and staff prior to sharing with the Community Advisory Board (CAB) members.
Key informant interview findings and proposed strategies
时间窗: Through study completion, up to 2 years
Will prepare a report with the findings and proposed strategies and discuss it with TIHP Co-PI and CAB.
Qualitative Effectiveness of Community-Focused Patient Navigation (CFPN) program
时间窗: Through study completion, up to 2 years
Data collected in interviews focusing on patient's cancer journey and experience with the CFPN program will be analyzed using Dedoose software and an inductive qualitative approach. Two-coder teams will code separately and discuss discrepancies and reconciliations, and the codes will be applied to transcripts and fieldnotes.
Quantitative Effectiveness of Community-Focused Patient Navigation (CFPN) program
时间窗: Through study completion, up to 2 years
Using Patient Satisfaction With Cancer Care Scale (Jean-Pierre, 2010) to collect data regarding the effectiveness of the CFPN program. Data will be analyzed using SAS to measure the unilateral satisfaction construct through descriptive statistics (e.g., means, medians, frequencies) and summarizing single-group satisfaction at post-intervention.
Implementation of Community-Focused Patient Navigation (CFPN) program
时间窗: Through study completion, up to 2 years
Data will be collected via a study-specific patient survey to examine acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of the CFPN program. Data will be analyzed using SAS to calculate means, standard deviations, and ranges.
Attrition
时间窗: Through study completion, up to 2 years
Number of patients lost to follow up will be examined to establish the reach of the Community-Focused Patient Navigation (CFPN) program.
