Overview
Brief Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies survivorship care planning in supporting quality of life in ovarian cancer survivors following primary treatment. Survivorship care plans have the potential to empower patients and provide them with a plan of care following treatments. Survivorship care planning may support patient's overall well-being and quality of life after treatment of ovarian cancer.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the feasibility and acceptability of survivorship care planning (SCP) in ovarian cancer. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To develop the infrastructure and strategy for a larger comparative intervention study (National Cancer Institute \[NCI\] R01). OUTLINE: Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Participants receive standard post-treatment care consisting of regular cancer surveillance visits with treating oncologists. ARM II: Participants complete survivorship care planning in close collaboration with treating oncologists. After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 2 months.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Recruitment rates
Time Frame: 2 months
Important information regarding recruitment for the subsequent larger trial will be provided including estimates of the number of contacts needed to produce a qualified participant, the percentage of those who are qualified and agree to participate, and a retention rate.
Patient satisfaction assessed using the Survivor Satisfaction Tool and Debriefing Form
Time Frame: 2 months
Quantitative and qualitative descriptive statistics will be analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis methods to determine satisfaction with the timing, content, and delivery of the intervention.
Percentage of attrition
Time Frame: 2 months
Descriptive statistics will be presented on those who agree to participate and the proportion of those approached who agree to participate. Descriptive statistics will also be presented for percentage of attrition (based on number of patients who failed to complete the 2 months study. Reasons for attrition will also be documented.
Total retention
Time Frame: 2 months
Descriptive statistics will be presented for the total retention.
Secondary Outcomes
- Infrastructure for a larger comparative intervention study(2 months)
