Interventions

BEHAVIORALIntegrating Community-based Intervention Under Nurse Guidance with Families (iCINGS FAM)

The intervention consists of two planning sessions with the dyad (over 2 weeks) followed by eight topic-guided sessions delivered the RN-CHW team over 12 weeks (weekly the first 4 weeks, then bi-weekly) (Table 3). Key components of these televisits include COVID-19 risk mitigation, chronic disease management, medication adherence, family functioning/support, and community and health systems resource identification and referral with ongoing goal planning. The RN-CHW will meet weekly for progress review, follow up planning, and setting up anticipatory guidance for the next session with the dyads. The RN and CHW will also review IC or survivor dissatisfaction and other issues that require more immediate attention. RN-CHW planning will be assessed to make sure each televisit remain topic focused yet incorporates flexibility to suit the needs of each dyad.
