Read the detailed description

Effectiveness A measure of the extent to which a specific intervention, procedure, regimen, or service when deployed in the field of routine circumstances, does it intended to do for a specific population. (Wojtezak, 2002) In this study, effectiveness refers to the degree to which the video assisted SMP is successful in the management of chemotherapy related side effects in terms of gain in Knowledge, self efficacy scores and reducing the severity of side effects among the cancer patient receiving chemotherapy.

Video Assisted Self Management Program It referred to an instructional aid which incorporates visual and auditory information on a topic for individual to understand and learn. (MedCrave 2016) In this study it refers to the systematically designed Video Assisted teaching program to educate cancer patients receiving chemotherapy under the experimental group about the management of chemotherapy related side effects at home .It will be one to one teaching session of 10-20 minutes conducted by the principal researcher with the help of a video on self management of chemotherapy related side effects and the video will focus on the self management of selected side effects of chemotherapy including Nausea, vomiting , Diarrhea ,Constipation, Fever , Mucositis , Skin changes , and Alopecia related distress.

Chemotherapy side effects It is the unintended effect occurring at normal dose related to the pharmacological properties. (WHO) In this study it refers to the commonly reported chemotherapy related side effects by the patients receiving chemotherapy including nausea vomiting, Diarrhea, Constipation, Fever, Mucositis, Dry skin, and Alopecia related distress in cancer patients after receiving chemotherapy.

Knowledge It is defined as the familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something such as facts, skills or objects. (Plato) In this study it refers to the correct response of the patient to the questionnaire regarding the self management of the side effects of chemotherapy. It will be assessed by the Structured Questionnaire on self management of chemotherapy related side effects with 20 items. The scores will be analyzed in the form of means.

Cancer Patients Cancer Patient is defined as a person receiving or registered to receive medical treatment in the Hospital for Cancer. (American Cancer Society) In this study it refers to the person either male or female who is suffering from any type of cancer that includes but not limited to Head and Neck, Pancreas, Liver, Gall bladder, Breast, Stomach, and mouth cancer and receiving chemotherapy at Onco day care ILBS, New Delhi at the time of data collection.

Self Efficacy It refers to an individual's belief in his or her capacity to execute behaviors necessary to produce specific performance attainments. It reflects confidence in the ability to exert control over one's own motivation, behavior and social environment. (Bandura, 1977) In this study it refers to the level of confidence of the cancer patients about their ability to manage the chemotherapy related side effects at home. It will be assessed by the structured symptom management self efficacy tool consisting of Twelve items. The mean score of self efficacy will be used to compare the Experimental and Comparison groups.

Severity of Chemotherapy Related Side Effects It refers to the degree to which a single side effect affects the patient graded on a scale of three. (Aakshdeep batra AIIMS) In this study it refers to the magnitude or the intensity (Grading) of the chemotherapy related side effects among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. It will be assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for the Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version -5 and the Chemotherapy related side effects will be assessed in terms of their presence and the severity from the day of last chemotherapy cycle to the day of present cycle. It will be a recall basis assessment.

Hypothesis

All hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance:

H1: There will be a significant difference between the Experimental and comparison group in terms of their mean gain in knowledge scores after video assisted SMP as assessed by the structured knowledge questionnaire.

H2 : There will be a significant difference between the Experimental and Comparison group in terms of their mean gain in Self efficacy scores after video assisted SMP as assessed by the self efficacy scale.

H3: There will be a significant difference between the Experimental and Comparison group in terms of their mean scores of Severity of the side effects after video assisted SMP as assessed by the CTCAE criteria.

H4: There will be a significant correlation of knowledge and self Efficacy scores in Experimental group among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

H5: There will be a significant association of severity of chemotherapy related side effects with the knowledge and self efficacy scores among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

H6: There will be a significant association of knowledge and self efficacy scores with the sociodemographic and clinical variables among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Knowledge regarding the management of chemotherapy related side effects.

    A structured 20 item knowledge questionnaire developed for assessment of knowledge among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy at Onco day care Ilbs. The knowledge questionnaire will be self reported by the subjects.

    Measured: up to 5 weeks

  2. self efficacy in relation to symptom management relevant to chemotherapy for patients with cancer.

    The Structured Symptom-Management Self-Efficacy Scale derived from - Symptom-Management Self-Efficacy Scale Breast Cancer (SMSES-Breast Ca.) It was developed by SY Liang et al., in 2015 that measure perceived self efficacy in terms of respondent's ability to self manage the symptoms of chemotherapy. It is an 11-point Likert scale was used for each item that ranged from 0 (not confident at all) to 10 (completely confident), with higher scores representing higher perceived self-efficacy.

    Measured: up to 5 weeks

  3. Severity of Side effects including Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Constipation, Mucositis, Fever, Pain ,Dry Skin and alopecia related distress.

    It consists of grades which are used to assess the severity of adverse events. Grades ranges from 0 to 5. The scores assessed by the researcher for the severity of side effects will be verified by the doctors on duty.

    The Distress thermometer was developed as a simple tool to effectively screen for symptom of Alopecia related distress. It is a self reported tool using a 0-10 rating scale. The scale was explained to all the participants and participants were asked to circle or pick a number 0-10 from the drop down box that best describes how much distress patient have been experiencing in the past weeks including today.

    Measured: up to 5 weeks
