简要总结
This phase II trial investigates how easy it is to incorporate a nursing led geriatric assessment screening tool into a busy oncology practice, in order to identify at-risk older adults being evaluated for cancer treatment. This screening tool may help identify at-risk patients who can be referred for more in depth assessment, allowing for the creation of an individualized treatment plan that puts the patient's safety and personal goals as a priority.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the feasibility of training nurses to administer the Geriatric 8 (G8) screening tool in an oncology practice, to identify older patients (> 65 years old [y/o]) that would benefit from a more extensive Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To report the positive predictive value of the G8 screening tool with the final frailty designation determined by the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment completed in patients referred to the Senior Adult Oncology Center (SAOC).

结局指标
主要结局
Overall assessment score: Post
时间窗: After self-administered learning module
The score will be a number between 1-20. The responses to two questions of primary interest, assessing their comfort caring for older adults and their comfort in administering the G8 tool, will be binary measurements. The overall assessment scores from pre- and post- self-administered learning module will be compared using paired Wilcoxon test.
Number of patients screened
时间窗: Up to 30 months
Will be summarized by sample means, standard deviations and/or percentages.
Time it took to screen
时间窗: Up to 30 months
Will be summarized by sample means, standard deviations and/or percentages.
Number of completed SAOC visits
时间窗: Up to 30 months
Will be summarized by sample means, standard deviations and/or percentages.
Number of patients who refused
时间窗: Up to 30 months
Will be summarized by sample means, standard deviations and/or percentages.
Overall assessment score: Pre
时间窗: Before self-administered learning module
The score will be a number between 1-20. The responses to two questions of primary interest, assessing their comfort caring for older adults and their comfort in administering the G8 tool, will be binary measurements. The overall assessment scores from pre- and post- self-administered learning module will be compared using paired Wilcoxon test.
Number of referrals to Senior Adult Oncology Center (SAOC)
时间窗: Up to 30 months
Will be summarized by sample means, standard deviations and/or percentages.
