Usual Care (UC)
SCP-Intervention vs usual care
Patients in the UC arm will not receive the study intervention (behavioral) and instead will receive care according to usual practice. This usually involves a brief office visit (approximately 5-10 minutes) with pertinent history and physical examination related to surgical/radiation recovery, review of the pathology and general instructions regarding the next step in follow-up.
behavioral intervention vs control Patients in the SCP-Int arm will be asked to attend a one-time appointment with a trained oncology nurse. The SCP-Int is comprised of a 30-minute nurse-led face-to-face intervention and the provision of a tailored PC-specific SCP (PC-SCP). Persistent effects and concerns that are identified will prompt the development of a tailored management plan captured within the PC-SCP. Relevant patient education materials will be linked electronically. Nurses will use motivational interviewing techniques to effective in increase healthy behaviors and empower the PC survivor to actively self-manage persistent treatment effects and to decrease their risk of late effects by providing effective health information, support, and self-management support.
