Clinical Trial Summary

This study, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of education and telephone follow-up given to cancer patients receiving immunotherapy on symptom management and self-care power. It is expected that the education given to the patients who will receive immunotherapy for the first time and the monitoring by phone, prevention of immunotherapy-related side effects, early recognition, and follow-up will reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and increase the self-care power of the patient.


Clinical Trial Description

The research consists of two parts. For the qualitative part of the research; A semi-structured interview form was created. In this form, face-to-face interviews were conducted with the patients receiving immunotherapy about the symptoms they experienced, how they coped, and the subjects they wanted to learn. Quantitative part for sample selection; G Power 3.1 statistical program was used to calculate the sample size of the study. After calculating the effect size as 0.73 by using the standard deviation and group averages of the Self-Care Scale of the study closest to the research, the sample calculation was made (Çetin,2020). According to this; The sample size was calculated with a total of 56 patients, 28 people in both groups, with a power of 85% in the 95% confidence interval. However, due to the possible losses in the number of patients, 33 people were planned for both groups, with a total of 66 patients (Çetin A.A.2020). A randomization list created with a computer-based random number sequence was used to ensure the random distribution of the patients scheduled for immunotherapy to the groups (www.random.org). The patients were numbered according to the order of arrival, and the patients were assigned to the groups (intervention group with training and followed up by phone, and control group with routine follow-up) according to the numbers in the randomization list. Due to the nature of the study, the principal investigator and patients could not be blinded during grouping. However, single-blind randomization was achieved by blinding the evaluator groups. ;
