Does a Nursing Intervention Improve Adherence to Oral Chemotherapies in the Outpatient Cancer Treatment Setting?

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Antineoplastic Agents

In brief

This study is being conducted by Bassett Healthcare Network in coordination with Bassett Cancer Institute. Patients prescribed oral chemotherapies will be approached to consider consent to this study. This study will try to establish if nursing interventions can help improve patients' adherence to taking their oral chemotherapies as prescribed by their doctor. Oral chemotherapies are emerging as a growing treatment of choice for many cancer diagnoses. Adherence to the prescribed treatment plan is very important to gain the best response to these types of treatments. The study will examine if nursing intervention via weekly phone calls may help improve adherence to oral chemotherapy treatment plans.
