Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this proposal is to develop and test the efficacy in a randomized, controlled clinical trial of an Oncology Nurse Care Management (ONCM) program to support cancer patients early in their course. The ONCM program will be compared with an Enhanced Usual Care (EUC) program that will provide education materials and treatment resources for patients. Efficacy will be measured by differences over time in participant-reported Quality of Life, Symptoms and Emotional Distress, and Quality of Care between patients receiving ONCM versus EUC.

- description
- In addition to this mailed information packet, patients in OCNM will be contacted by an experienced Oncology nurse with additional training in self-management support and psychosocial care. The intervention nurse, supported by a Medical Oncologist and Clinical Psychologist, will work closely with patients, their primary care physicians, and other clinicians to assure that patient needs discussed are met. The nurses will be trained in and employ proven counseling and psychotherapeutic approaches-behavioral activation and problem-solving treatment. The multi-component intervention will be based on the Chronic Care Model's six elements (health care organization, community resources, self-management support, delivery system design, decision support, and clinical information system).
