General module
Personalized module
General module will serve as a "roadmap plan" which will cover the most common problems and major issues related to current and future treatments, side effects, psychological distress, daily function and physical condition. The contents will be developed based on empirical review, our current research findings in Taiwan, OC health care experts' suggestions.
Personalized Survivor Care Plan (PSCP) will deliver based on what we assess or interview about patients' distress, concerns and care needs in each interview or/and assessment. We will assess OC patients of the above items by valid assessment tools. For the factors or concerns about RTW assessment, we will develop and test a modified instrument for the study purpose. For each assessment, the computer -assisted assessment will help the OC educator to immediately catch the patients care distress and care needs. It will provide the direction for caring of their personalized distress, concerns and needs.
