INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of implementing a mobile health application for breast and colorectal cancer survivors following primary treatment. Developed in collaboration with Seamless MD, the intervention acts as an information hub, providing users with timely and evidence-based information related to follow-up care as well as health system/community-based resources and programs to meet their needs during this period of care. The goal of the intervention is to encourage open communication regarding survivorship expectations and provide survivors with appropriate information and support to meet their needs. This study will: 1. Test the feasibility of implementing the virtual intervention at two cancer centres in Atlantic Canada (Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) 2. Gather feedback regarding the intervention from cancer survivors and healthcare providers. Participants will have access to the intervention for a period of six months. Questionnaires will be distributed to participants through the intervention at baseline, 90 days, and 180 days to assess user experience. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with select survivor participants and healthcare providers (oncology and primary care) to determine the feasibility and acceptability of this intervention.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- Adults older than 18 years, capable of providing informed consent
- Diagnosed with stage I-III breast or colorectal cancer, and have completed primary treatment for their cancer (surgery and/or adjuvant systemic or radiation therapy) 6 months - 5 years ago
Interventions
The intervention is a supportive information and self-management tool housed on the SeamlessMD mobile app, created in collaboration with the SeamlessMD development program and informed by foundational research. The application will be used as an information hub and self-management/navigation tool alongside usual care, to address the physical, psychosocial, and practical needs of breast and colorectal cancer survivors. Note that the intervention will not seek to change or impact a survivor's follow-up care plan, as decided upon by the participant and their care team.
