Summary

Although evidence exists to support cancer rehabilitation, services are fragmented and rehabilitation professionals are consulted infrequently and often long after treatment ends, when chronicity of problems limits the impact of intervention. Therefore, the objective of this project is to develop, implement, and conduct a pilot evaluation of the Rehabilitation Consult (RC). The RC program goals are to increase knowledge about rehabilitation needs and resources to meet those needs; to establish individualized rehabilitation goals for HNC survivors and personalized action plans to meet those goals; and to provide support to HNC survivors for the implementation and evaluation of action plans. This project consisted of intervention development and pilot evaluation; this trial registration describes the pilot evaluation phase only.

Conditions

  • Head and Neck Neoplasms

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Rehabilitation Consult (RC)

The RC was designed to foster key contributors to self management in the participants. The RC is administered by a rehabilitation professional and consists of an initial one-hour face-to-face consult and follow-up appointment(s) 2-12 weeks later, either telephone or face-to-face. The initial consult consists of orientation, consultation, goal-setting, teaching cognitive strategies, introduction to online resources/action planning/planning coping responses, review/implementation intentions/scheduling follow-up. The follow-up consists of a reminder, reorientation, checking of progress on goals and plans, re-planning as necessary, and discharge or scheduling of further follow-up as necessary.
