Quality of Life Clinical Trial
— WINOfficial title:
Web-based Tailored Information and Support for Patients With a Neuroendocrine Tumor: a Randomized Pilot Study (Pilot WIN-study).
Background Physical as well as psychosocial complaints are frequently present in patients
with a neuroendocrine tumor (NET). Adequate information is seen as an essential aspect of
supportive care. The aim of the current study is to test the effectiveness of a web-based
tailored information and support system targeting patients' information and care needs. Key
features of this system are self-screening of physical and psychosocial problems, tailored
education on reported problems and self-referral to professional health care.
Objective To detect whether a web-based tailored information and support system improves
patients' perception and satisfaction of received information. The investigators hypothesize
that after having received web-based tailored information and support patients feel more
informed and are more satisfied with the received information than when receiving standard
care.
Study design The present study is a randomized prospective longitudinal experimental
multicenter pilot study. In this study, we want to examine the effect sizes on the
perception and satisfaction by the patient of received information (primary objective) and
secondary objectives after having used web-based tailored information and support. Eligible
are newly diagnosed NET-patients (N=40) (diagnosed less than 3 months ago). Patients will be
asked to fill out questionnaires at baseline and after 12 weeks, on socio-demographic
features (only at baseline), internet use (only at baseline), health care use, patients'
perception and satisfaction of received information, distress, quality of life and
empowerment (only after 12 weeks).
Study population Patients diagnosed with a NET (any type of NET, any phase of disease) who
are under treatment at the Department of Medical Oncology in the University Medical Center
Groningen or Hospital Medisch Spectrum; twenty will be invited to participate in the study.
Intervention During 12 subsequent weeks, a personalized website (with a surname/password)
will become available to patients in the experimental group beside the usual standard care.
Key features of the website are self-screening, tailored patient education and
self-referral. Self-screening will be performed by an online version of the Dutch Distress
thermometer (DT) and Problem List (PL). Patients will receive automated feedback on their DT
score immediately after test completion together with information regarding problems
reported on the PL, options for (self)-help and possibilities for referral to professional
care. Contact information will also be available to discuss questions, problems and/or
referral needs. Patients may also request a telephone call.
Main study endpoint The primary endpoint is to detect an improvement in patients' perception
and satisfaction of received information after having received web-based tailored
information and support.

Primary | detect an improvement in perception and satisfaction of the received information | The primary objective is to detect an improvement in perception and satisfaction of the received information by NET-patients after having used the online tailored information and support system. We hypothesize that patients perceive to have received more information and are more satisfied with the received information after having used the web-based tailored information and support system. | 14 weeks. This is the period a patient can use the website, thereafter a end-of study questionnaire will be filled out | No |
Secondary | Distress level after receiving information | To test whether patients experience less distress after having received web-based tailored information and support. | 14 weeks. This is the period a patient can use the website, thereafter a end-of study questionnaire will be filled out | No |
Secondary | Quality of life | To test whether patients experience a higher quality of life after receiving web-based tailored information and support. | 14 weeks. This is the period a patient can use the website, thereafter a end-of study questionnaire will be filled out | No |
Secondary | Empowerment enhancement | To examine whether a web-based tailored information and support system enhances empowerment within the meaning of being better informed, feeling more confident in the relationship with their physician, improved acceptance of the illness, feeling more confident about the treatment and increased optimism and control over the future. | 14 weeks. This is the period a patient can use the website, thereafter a end-of study questionnaire will be filled out | No |
