Addressing Cancer-Related Distress Through Survivorship Care

This study is looking at whether a special visit with a Physician Assistant (PA) at the start of cancer treatment can help reduce distress and improve quality of life for adults with cancer. This visit, called a Structured Survivorship Visit, uses your distress screening results to guide discussions about your emotional, physical, and practical needs. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have any type of cancer, are starting active treatment (like chemotherapy), and have a distress score of 4 or higher on a screening tool. The study aims to see if this visit helps with psychological distress and quality of life. Currently, the study is recruiting about 15 participants.

This is a single-arm study, meaning all participants receive the same intervention. It plans to enroll about 15 participants.
What's involved
You will complete questionnaires about your distress and quality of life. You will also have one Structured Survivorship Visit with a Physician Assistant.

What this trial measures

  • Change in Psychological Distress as Measured by the NCCN Distress Thermometer and Problem ListBaseline, 2 weeks after survivorship visit, and 1 month after survivorship visit

    Psychological distress will be measured using the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Distress Thermometer and Problem List, a validated self-report measure in which participants rate their overall distress on a scale from 0 (no distress) to 10 (extreme distress). Change in distress scores from baseline to follow-up assessments will be evaluated.
