Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This pilot clinical trial studies the Navigated Early Survivorship Transition (NEST) intervention in improving survivorship care planning in patients with newly diagnosed cancer and their caregivers. A survivorship care planning session (SCPS) delivered to survivors and their primary caregivers may improve psychosocial well-being, patient and caregiver engagement, and adherence to treatment and follow-up recommendations. It is not yet known whether a NEST intervention or usual care is better in improving survivorship care planning in patients with newly diagnosed cancer.

- description
- Patients (PTs) and their caregivers (CGs) receive educational intervention, follow-up care, psychosocial assessment and care, and questionnaire administration interventions by completing psychosocial questionnaires and meeting with a nurse practitioner (NP) or nurse navigator (NN) for an initial survivorship care planning session to review the expected course of therapy and recovery, identify resources that may be needed and provide recommendations for follow-up. At the end of their treatment EOT), PTs and their CGs complete a 2nd set of questionnaires and meet with the NP/NN for a booster survivorship care planning session. They will receive an individualized final survivorship care plan and related materials. 2 months after EOT, PTs and their CGs complete a final set of questionnaires.
