Study Description

Brief Summary: This trial studies how well self-generated survivorship care plans and telehealth education works in improving knowledge and self-efficacy in cancer survivors living in rural areas. Patients living in rural areas often face barriers to survivorship care and report unmet needs. A survivorship care plan created by the patient (self-generated) may help them to better transition from oncology to primary care and improve communication between care teams in order to meet these needs and create better health outcomes. Telehealth is a way of delivering health care services from a distance, including patient education. Combining a self-generated survivorship care plan with telehealth education may help to improve knowledge and self-efficacy in cancer survivors.

Detailed Description: OUTLINE: Patients complete a questionnaire at baseline (paper, online, or telephone-based) and medical records are reviewed. Patients are then randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients receive a self-generated SCP (i.e., generated from baseline questionnaire responses). ARM II: Patients receive a self-generated SCP as in Arm I. Patients also receive a 30-minute telephone-based educational counseling session on survivorship care. PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS: Primary care providers complete a questionnaire about perceptions of the SCP and self-efficacy in providing survivorship care. ONCOLOGY CLINIC STAFF: Administrators and medical providers will be asked to complete the adapted Organizational Readiness to Change Assessment (ORCA) instrument (that measures Evidence and Context only) and participate in a qualitative interview about perceptions of implementation of survivorship care. After completion of study, patients are followed up at approximately 8 weeks.
