Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trial
Official title:
An mHealth Symptom Management Intervention for Colorectal Cancer Patients
The investigators have developed an innovative mobile health (mHealth) coping skills training protocol, mCOPE, that is adapted to meet the multiple symptom needs and stage-of-life challenges faced by young and middle-aged adults with cancer, and delivered in a convenient and flexible format that does not incur further demands. Young and middle-aged colorectal cancer patients who report pain, fatigue, and psychological distress will be invited to participate in the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions: mCOPE or standard care. mCOPE will teach patients coping skills to manage their cancer-related symptoms (pain, fatigue and distress) in the context of unique age-related challenges; session content will be tailored based on participants' report. mCOPE sessions will be delivered via videoconferencing to the patient in his/her own environment and scheduled at times that are convenient to the patient. mHealth technology, including a mobile app, will be used to capture daily symptom and coping skills use data, allowing the study team to provide personalized real-time feedback to patients. Investigators want to understand the impact of the mCOPE intervention delivered to young and middle-aged colorectal cancer patients with pain, fatigue, and distress. mCOPE is expected to lead to reduced symptom severity and improved quality of life. Study aims include: testing the efficacy of mCOPE for improving symptoms and quality of life and examining improved self-efficacy for symptom management as a mediator of symptom severity.
There is a high level of evidence that suggests cognitive and behavioral factors play an important role in colorectal cancer patients' abilities to cope with pain, fatigue and distress. Patients with multiple persistent symptoms may be particularly likely to have low confidence in their ability to control their symptoms (i.e., self-efficacy for symptom management). Cognitive behavioral coping skills protocols can enhance patients' abilities to cope with their symptoms in the context of age-related challenges; to date, these protocols have been tested in older patients and neither intervention content nor delivery modality meet the needs of younger patients. Intervention protocols aimed at young and middle-aged patients dealing with age-related stressors and high time demands must be adapted to meet the needs and challenges (e.g., coping skills practice strategies within the context of competing demands, communication with others about symptoms and limitations, relaxation for managing stoma-related pain, activity pacing to manage fatigue due to cancer and the demands of multiple life roles; cognitive restructuring negative thoughts surrounding managing time off work for treatment while maintaining health insurance and arranging childcare) of younger adults with cancer and delivered in a format (e.g., videoconferencing, adjunctive mobile app) that is acceptable and does not incur further demands. The investigators propose to use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test an innovative mHealth Coping Skills Training for Symptom Management (mCOPE) intervention designed to target pain, fatigue, psychological distress, and quality of life with unique content adapted for young and middle-aged colorectal cancer patients. mCOPE will be delivered with convenient mHealth modalities (videoconferencing, mobile app supported). Young and middle-aged adults with colorectal cancer that endorse multiple symptoms will be randomized to: 1) mCOPE or 2) standard care. mCOPE includes 5 videoconferencing sessions of a cognitive behavior theory-based protocol that teaches coping skills (e.g., relaxation, activity pacing, cognitive restructuring) relevant to managing pain, fatigue and distress, and improving quality of life in the context of the unique challenges facing younger patients. mCOPE uses mHealth technology, including a mobile app, to capture daily symptom and coping skills use data and provide personalized support and feedback to patients. The central hypothesis is that mCOPE will result in decreased pain, fatigue and distress, and increased quality of life. Specific study aims are: Aim 1: Test the efficacy of mCOPE for improving symptoms and quality of life. Aim 2: Examine improved self-efficacy for symptom management as a mediator of symptom severity. ;
