Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Chemotherapy often causes burdensome symptoms that affect daily life and reduce patients' quality of life. This study aims to test whether an information-based symptom management program can help cancer patients better manage their symptoms, improve self-care ability, and enhance quality of life. The program was developed by nurses and delivered through a simple electronic platform, allowing patients to report symptoms such as fever, pain, shortness of breath, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, or anxiety. Patients in the intervention group will receive tailored self-care advice and weekly nurse follow-up calls, while the control group will receive usual care. The study will compare outcomes in symptom self-management, quality of life, and health literacy between the two groups over 12 weeks.

- description
- Participants will use a nurse-led electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) system during chemotherapy. The system was designed by oncology nurses and allows patients to complete weekly symptom assessments for 12 weeks. Automated feedback and evidence-based self-care advice are provided. Alerts are triggered for severe symptoms, prompting follow-up by oncology nurses including weekly phone calls.
