Digital and nurse-led support intervention in primary care during the first year after curative intent treatment for breast or prostate cancer: study protocol of two cluster randomised controlled pilot trials.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The period directly after primary treatment for breast or prostate cancer is a time when patients feel unprepared about how to manage life and address unexpected health challenges. Supportive care should focus on identifying symptoms and concerns and involving survivors in their self-care. Interventions using a blended model encompassing remote and in-person components may inform how supportive care can be organised. This protocol describes two pilot randomised controlled trials with the aim to investigate the acceptability, feasibility and potential effects of a 6 month digital and nurse-led support intervention in primary care for patients with breast or prostate cancer during the first year after primary treatment.
