Self-Management Program and Survivorship Care Plan in Improving the Health of Cancer Survivors After Stem Cell Transplant

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Cell Neoplasm
Interventions
Other: Internet, Mobile app and Telehealth Intervention
Other: Best Practice and Internet site with links to existing resources
Other: Survey Administration
Registration Number
NCT03125070
Lead Sponsor
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center
Brief Summary

This phase III trial investigates health informatics and a self-management program for improving the health of cancer survivors after stem cell transplant. After transplant many survivors may feel stressed or may be unsure of what health care they need. A self-management program called "INSPIRE," along with a personalized survivorship care plan may improve stress and health care for transplant survivors.

Detailed Description

OUTLINE:

Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I: Patients receive immediate access to the INSPIRE online program and personalized survivorship care plan.

GROUP II: Patients receive an online program linking to existing online survivor resources and a personalized survivorship care plan. Patients receive access to the INSPIRE online program after 12 months.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cancer and Treatment Distress (CTXD)Up to 12 months

Among those impaired at baseline, percent who are no longer impaired at 12 months (among those not missing either). Scores range from 0-3 and higher scores indicate higher distress. A cutoff of \>=.90 was used to categorize participants as high in distress. Participants with scores \<.90 were categorized as not distressed.

Health Care Adherence (HCA)-CardiometabolicUp to 12 months

Assesses adherence to cardiometabolic surveillance in intervention participants vs. controls. Among those impaired at baseline, percent no longer impaired at 12 months. Scores range from 0-1. Higher scores indicate high adherence. A cutoff of \<.80 was used to categorize participants as low in adherence. Scores higher than .80 were classified as being adherent to cardiometabolic surveillance.

Characteristics of Intervention Participants Who Require Telehealth Stepped Care at 6-weeks6-weeks after enrollment.

Determine characteristics of participants who 1) do not meet criteria for adequate knowledge of cardiometabolic risks, or 2) do not report improved distress, or 3) have not logged in to the online program.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Health Care Adherence (HCA)-Subsequent Malignancy ScreeningUp to 12 months

Assesses adherence to subsequent malignancy surveillance in intervention participants vs. controls. Among those impaired at baseline, percent no longer impaired at 12 months.

PHQ-8 DepressionUp to 12 months

Assessed by participant questionnaire.Among those impaired (PHQ≥10) at baseline, percent no longer impaired at 12 months
