Summary

The study aims to determine the effect of the nurse navigation program (LungCaNN), which is performed in line with the supportive care needs of newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer patients, on the level of anxiety-depression, adherence to the disease, and quality of life.

The study was designed as a randomized study with a control group. This study will be carried out with a total of 84 NSCLC patients, 42 of whom were in the intervention group and 42 in the control group, whose treatment was started in Akdeniz University Medical Oncology Outpatient Clinic and met the inclusion criteria of the sampling. Nurse navigation program will be applied for 12 weeks from the diagnosis of NSCLC patients in the intervention group. The intervention protocol of the study is abbreviated as "Lung Cancer Nurse Navigator" \[LungCaNN\].

Within the scope of the LungCaNN program, face-to-face patient education, patient education booklet, face-to-face, and telephone navigation initiatives were planned. Patient Identification Form, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS 21), Chronic Disease Adjustment Scale, EORTC QLQ 30 Quality of Life Scale-/ LC-13, and Navigation and Interview Steps Form will be used to collect data.

Conditions

  • Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

Interventions

OTHER

LungCaNN

The needs of the patients included in the study will be determined with the supportive care needs scale. A training booklet will be given to the patients in the intervention group and they will be informed about the existing or newly formed unsupported care needs, the evaluation of their frequency and severity, and the ability of the patients to call the navigator nurse 24/7 or send an SMS. For interventions that can be applied in line with evidence-based guidelines for unsupported care needs with patients included in the intervention group every week for 12 weeks, a face-to-face navigation will be made by the navigator nurse over the phone and once a month.
