Brief Title: Effect of a Symptom Diary on Symptom Care and Symptom Burden in Patients Treated With Chemotherapy: a Before-and-after-study
Official Title: Effect of the Implementation of a Symptom Diary on the Symptom Care Received and the Symptom Burden Experienced by Adult Cancer Patients Treated With Chemotherapy: A Before-and-after-study
Study ID: NCT02050490
Brief Summary: This study investigates whether the implementation of a symptom diary for reporting and communicating chemotherapy-related symptoms improves symptom care and decreases symptom burden in adult patients treated with chemotherapy. The hypothesis is studied using a before-and-after design. First, symptom care and symptom burden will be observed in a sample of patients not being offered a symptom diary. Next, the symptom diary will be implemented at the participating hospital and symptom care and symptom burden will now be observed in a new sample of chemotherapy patients.
