简要总结
This study evaluates the development, implementation and effectiveness of a nurse-led eHealth support tool designed to improve quality of life and survivorship outcomes among adults treated for head and neck cancer. The intervention integrates symptom monitoring, self-management education, and structured survivorship support into routine follow-up care. Outcomes will include patient-reported quality of life, symptom burden, and healthcare utilization.
详细描述
Head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors experience significant long-term physical, functional, and psychosocial sequelae including dysphagia, speech impairment, fatigue, pain, and psychological distress. Traditional follow-up models rely on periodic clinic visits and may not adequately support self-management.
This study involves three phases:
Development of a co-designed eHealth support platform.
Implementation of the intervention within survivorship care pathways.
Evaluation of clinical effectiveness using patient-reported outcomes and healthcare utilization metrics.
