简要总结
This study will be conducted at La Liga Contra el Cancer in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. The overall objective of this project is to improve symptom management for patients undergoing chemotherapy in Honduras. The first step in this line of research is a "proof of concept" feasibility study in which the investigators will demonstrate their ability to train nurses to administer a non-pharmacological, telephone-delivered, symptom management program for chemotherapy patients.
