Study Summary

As the population of cancer survivors increases substantially, meeting the health care and psychosocial needs of this population has become a national priority. After treatment ends, cancer survivors still experience a range of physical and psychological symptoms that require management. The post-treatment period can present new challenges for many survivors as they encounter communication gaps in the transition from oncology to primary care, leaving unmet needs for information and management of lingering symptoms. The role of informal caregivers remains important during this post-treatment period and psychosocial interventions that meet the needs (e.g., information, symptom management) of both members of the dyad are highly valuable to caregivers and survivors. Many geographic and social determinants of health care use (e.g., distance to specialty care centers, available primary care providers, and public transportation) make access to care and adherence to recommended healthcare guidelines difficult for survivors and caregivers, especially those who reside in rural areas. Rural residents with cancer and their caregivers during the post-treatment period are underrepresented in symptom management research. To address the unmet needs (e.g., information, symptom management) of cancer survivors and their caregivers after cancer treatment, this team has developed, tested, and investigated two telephone delivered interventions for survivors and their caregivers: Symptom Management and Survivorship Handbook (SMSH) and Telephone Interpersonal Counseling (TIP-C).

Primary Outcome

Symptoms will be measured using the General Symptom Distress Scale (GSDS), which is an instrument that allows a quick assessment of symptoms. It evaluates 15 symptoms such as: depression, anxiety, pain, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, cough, poor appetite, sleep difficulties, swelling in hands and feet, difficulty concentrating, and headaches. Participants indicate the presence of each symptom and rate their severity on a scale of 0-10; 0= not experiencing
