Digital Self-Management and Peer Mentoring Intervention
Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Pediatric Cancer Survivor, Survivorship, Cancer
In brief
This study tests how helpful a digital self-management and peer mentoring program is to young adult survivors of childhood cancer to improve their ability to manage their survivorship care as they transition from pediatric to adult-oriented follow-up care. Survivors require lifelong "risk-based" follow-up care based on the treatment they received to identify and treat late health effects. The transition from pediatric to adult follow-up care is a critical period when many survivors are lost to follow-up. Barriers to successful transition and engagement in care include poor knowledge of cancer history, low healthcare self-efficacy, poor self-management skills, low health literacy, and access issues such as financial hardship, insurance, and distance from cancer center. The "Managing Your Health" digital self-management and peer mentoring program aims to address these gaps and improve survivorship care self-management. Improvements in healthcare self-management are necessary to keep young adult survivors engaged in recommended health care, improve their quality of life, and promote optimal health.
