Breast Cancer Clinical Trial
Nurse AMIE: Addressing Metastatic Individuals Everyday
Summary
Determine the acceptability and feasibility of a supportive care software platform to improve quality of life and function in metastatic breast cancer patients. Acceptability will be defined as the proportion of women offered the intervention who agree to participate. Feasibility will be defined as the proportion of women who consent, take a tablet home, who actually interact with the tablet and participate at least one month of the program.
Full Description
Goals of the Nurse AMIE software program are to regularly assess psychosocial, functional, and symptom needs among metastatic breast cancer patients and to provide appropriate interventions via YouTube style videos, weekly phone calls with a patient navigator at Penn State, and appropriate referrals to phone or in person consultations as needed. The proposed Nurse AMIE software program will allow for the provision of resources (YouTube style videos, audio files, exercises) to intervene on many of the common symptoms and challenges experienced by metastatic patients. This is an identified need on the part of both metastatic patients and their medical care teams. Finally, it will also allow patient navigators to check in with patients, reviewing responses to surveys, discerning whether new or different interventions are needed, and connecting women to palliative care and other services if additional care is warranted.
