About this study

Official title: Perioperative Ostomy Self-Management Telehealth (Periop-OSMT) for Cancer Patients and Family Caregivers

This phase II trial studies how well Perioperative Ostomy Self-Management Telehealth (Periop-OSMT) provides patients and their caregivers information about ostomy and ostomy care. Periop-OSMT may help to understand patient preparedness to do ostomy self-care, confidence in doing ostomy self-care, knowledge of ostomy self-care, quality of life, mood, use of medical services, and financial burden.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. Assess the feasibility and acceptability of the Periop-OSMT as measured by the percentage of patients and support persons/family caregivers (FCGs) who agree to participate; complete >= 80% of the intervention; and report satisfaction with the intervention (through structured exit interviews).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Examine the patterns and trajectories for patient outcomes pre- and post-intervention, including patient activation, self-efficacy, ostomy-related knowledge, health related quality of life (HRQOL), medical care utilization, and financial burden.

II. Examine patterns and trajectories for support person/FCG outcomes pre- and post-intervention, including quality of life (QOL).

III. Using qualitative methods, evaluate the acceptability of the intervention as reported by participants.

OUTLINE:

Patients and/or support persons/family caregivers complete Periop-OSMT session in-person or via telephone over 20-40 minutes before surgery and before hospital discharge, and group telehealth session over 1.5-2 hours at weeks 1-3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 post discharge.

After completion of study intervention, participants are followed up for 6 months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Patient and family caregiver (FCG) participation

    Assessed by ratio of eligible participants (patient and FCGs) to those enrolled and those who decline participation, reasons for non-participation, number of scheduled study encounters completed, attrition rate between pre- and post-intervention, reasons for attrition/dropout, level of intervention participation including the total number of sessions, number of sessions completed without break-offs, number of break-offs, length (minutes) of sessions, and the ratio of all participants to those who completed >= 80% of the study.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Patient reported outcomes

    Will be examined pre- and post-intervention, including patient activation, self-efficacy, ostomy-related knowledge, health related quality of life, medical care utilization, and financial burden. Descriptive statistics will be summarized using validated scoring procedures. The data will be used to assess descriptively the trajectory and patterns of outcomes before and after the intervention.

    Measured: Up to 6 months post-discharge

  2. Support person/FCG reported outcomes

    Will be examined pre- and post-intervention, including quality of life. Descriptive statistics will be summarized using validated scoring procedures. The data will be used to assess descriptively the trajectory and patterns of outcomes before and after the intervention.

    Measured: Up to 6 months post-discharge

  3. Acceptability of Perioperative Ostomy Self-Management Telehealth

    Acceptability will be assessed through qualitative data analysis using the conventional content analysis approach. Data from the tape-recorded interviews are transcribed and analyzed using HyperRESEARCH software. Transcripts will be imported for the development of analytic categories, data coding, and review of coded data. All data will be read repeatedly to achieve immersion and obtain a sense of the whole. Then, data will be read word by word to derive codes. Codes will be then sorted into themes based on links and relationship. Separate investigators will conduct a final validation review of the codes and themes to ensure consistency and clarity across all qualitative data. Data discordantly coded will be discussed for refinement and consensus purposes.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Informational Intervention, Quality-of-Life Assessment and Questionnaire Administration in people with Malignant Neoplasm, run by City of Hope Medical Center at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Patient and family caregiver (FCG) participation (time frame: Up to 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 May 2023.
