Effects of nurse navigation program on patients with lung cancer

An information note will be given to the control group.

The needs of the patients included in the study will be determined with the supportive care needs scale. A training booklet will be given to the patients in the intervention group and they will be informed about the existing or newly formed unsupported care needs, the evaluation of their frequency and severity, and the ability of the patients to call the navigator nurse 24/7 or send an SMS. For interventions that can be applied in line with evidence-based guidelines for unsupported care needs with patients included in the intervention group every week for 12 weeks, a face-to-face navigation will be made by the navigator nurse over the phone and once a month.

The study aims to determine the effect of the nurse navigation program (LungCaNN), which is performed in line with the supportive care needs of newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer patients, on the level of anxiety-depression, adherence to the disease, and quality of life.

The study was designed as a randomized study with a control group. This study will be carried out with a total of 84 NSCLC patients, 42 of whom were in the intervention group and 42 in the control group, whose treatment was started in Akdeniz University Medical Oncology Outpatient Clinic and met the inclusion criteria of the sampling. Nurse navigation program will be applied for 12 weeks from the diagnosis of NSCLC patients in the intervention group. The intervention protocol of the study is abbreviated as "Lung Cancer Nurse Navigator" \[LungCaNN\].

Within the scope of the LungCaNN program, face-to-face patient education, patient education booklet, face-to-face, and telephone navigation initiatives were planned. Patient Identification Form, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS 21), Chronic Disease Adjustment Scale, EORTC QLQ 30 Quality of Life Scale-/ LC-13, and Navigation and Interview Steps Form will be used to collect data.

This is a randomized controlled trial consisting of two groups: experimental and control.

The Effect of Nurse Navigation Program on Lung Cancer Patients

The Effect of Nurse Navigation Program Applied in Line With Supportive Care Needs in Patients Diagnosed With Lung Cancer on Anxiety-Depression, Adaptation to the Disease and Quality of Life

It is used to evaluate depression, stress, and anxiety levels. Each item scores between 0-3 and gives separate scores for depression, stress, and anxiety. A maximum of 21 and a minimum of 0 points can be obtained from the scales. High scores indicate high levels of depression, stress, and anxiety.

This scale was developed to measure the quality of life of cancer patients. It includes 30 questions and three sub-dimensions: General Well-being, Functional Difficulties, and Symptom Control. The maximum score on the scale is 100 and the minimum score is 0. High scores in the functional subscale indicate good/healthy functional status, high scores in the symptom subscale indicate high levels of symptoms and/or problems, and high scores in the global health status/quality of life subscale indicate good quality of life. Scoring of the Quality of Life Scale LC-13 Lung Module is also done by symptom scale scoring. A high score from the LC-13 Lung Module indicates that the symptoms are experienced intensely.

The scale was developed to determine the level of compliance of patients with the disease. It consists of 25 items. It consists of three sub-dimensions: Physical Adaptation, Social Adaptation, and Psychological Adaptation. The total score that can be obtained from the scale is 125. High scores from the sub-dimensions and/or the whole scale mean that the patient's level of compliance with the disease also increases.

There is widespread anecdotal evidence that Cancer Nurse Navigators (CNNs) are highly valued by cancer patients, but no studies have evaluated the effects of CNNs on important patient-reported outcomes or indicators of quality of care. This study has two aims:

1. To assess the feasibility of studying the impact of Aurora CNN Program.
2. To pilot test the effects of CNN services on patient-reported outcomes and indicators of quality of care.

Effect of Cancer Nurse Navigators on Patient Outcomes

Pilot Test of the Effect of Cancer Nurse Navigators on Patient Outcomes

The Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G) assesses quality of life.

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network Distress Thermometer assesses level of distress.

The Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale measures 32 common physical and psychological cancer-related symptoms.

This instrument measures 30 cancer-related irritants (hassles) commonly experienced by persons with cancer.
