Summary

This study seeks to test the efficacy of a psychosocial intervention to empower advanced cancer patients and their caregivers and improve their quality of life (QOL). The program, called NextSTEPS, provides skills training in six domains that are central to patient and caregiver QOL: self-care, stress management, symptom management, effective communication, problem-solving, and social support.

NextSteps

Intervention sessions are delivered by a Masters level trained interventionist. During sessions, the interventionist will: conduct the weekly symptom screen, review content, answer questions, ensure skills mastery through homework review, and work with participants to develop action plans and identify/overcome barriers to self-care/caregiving. Patients and caregivers will receive individual calls from the interventionist for sessions 1, 2, and 3, and participate together for sessions 4, 5, and 6 via speakerphone.
