Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
RATIONALE: An orientation and patient education program and telephone counseling may help improve the quality of life in patients with peritoneal surface malignancies.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies quality of life and survivorship care in patients undergoing surgery and chemotherapy for peritoneal surface malignancies.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- Assess feasibility of instituting an orientation program, brief follow up care and phone calls in this patient population.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- Reduce pre-treatment distress and anxiety. II. Improve pre-treatment self-efficacy. III. Provide educational material delivered by the SRB. IV. Improve overall post-operative QOL ratings at 3 months, relative to discharge.
OUTLINE:
Patients and their caregiver(s) receive a hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) orientation with a Survivorship Navigator (SN) over 90 minutes following their initial surgical consult. Patients then receive telephone calls over 20-30 minutes from the SN once weekly for 3 weeks prior to HIPEC. . After HIPEC, patients meet with the SN for 20-30 minutes to discuss adjustments and adaptation to the surgery and hospitalization 3-4 days post-HIPEC, biweekly for two weeks, and weekly thereafter until hospital discharge. After hospital discharge, patients receive telephone calls from the SN twice monthly for 1 month.

Experimental: Arm I Patients and their caregiver(s) receive a hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) orientation with a Survivorship Navigator (SN) over 90 minutes following their initial surgical consult. Patients then receive telephone calls over 20-30 minutes from the SN once weekly for 3 weeks prior to HIPEC. After HIPEC, patients meet with the SN for 20-30 minutes to discuss adjustments and adaptation to the surgery and hospitalization 3-4 days post-HIPEC, biweekly for two weeks and weekly thereafter until hospital discharge. After hospital discharge, patients receive telephone calls from the SN twice monthly for 1 month. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Assess feasibility of instituting an orientation program, brief follow up care and phone calls in this patient population [Baseline to 3 months post discharge]
Utility of SRB, Medical Outcomes Study Health Survey, Short Form (SF-12), Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, The Distress Thermometer, The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Reduce pre-treatment distress and anxiety [Pre-HIPEC to Day 0]
Compared t-tests will be conducted for the CESD and STAI (state anxiety subscale).
- Improve pre-treatment self-efficacy [Pre-HIPEC to Day 0]
Mean scores on the distress thermometer will be compared as well as individual patient changes.
- Provide educational material delivered by the SRB [Pre-HIPEC to Day 0]
Form to assess utility of the Survivorship Resource Book
- Improve overall post-operative QOL ratings at 3 months, relative to discharge [3 months post discharge]
Improve post-operative QOL ratings at 3 months, relative to discharge. Repeated measures analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) will be utilized with the FACT scales.
