Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The implementation of the CoCo oncology application will be evaluated in terms
of use (login, number and type of exercises, fims and questionnaires that have
been filled in and/or seen, amount of time that have been spent on the
program), satisfaction with the technology (UTAUT questionnaire), satisfaction
with the treatment (CSQ) and quality of the provision of the services (SERVQUAL
questionnaire).
Secondary outcome
The clinical effectiveness will be evaluated in terms of burden of the disease
(10-point NRS), quality of life (EORTC-QLQ-C30), phyical functioning (SF-36),
fatigue (CIS-20), anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D).
Background summary
Cancer is a common disease with serious consequences for patient*s physical and
psychosocial functioning. These consequences may last for a long time, even
after completion of the curative treatment. To overcome cancer-related problems
and to improve quality of life, many cancer survivors participate in a
multidimensional rehabilitation program. One drawback of these programs is that
they require a lot of contact time between the therapist and the patient. To
improve the efficiency of the treatment, the CoCo (ConditionCoach) oncology
application will be implemented in the traditional cancer treatment of Het
Roessingh, center for rehabilitation. This application can by used by patients
at home and will partially replace traditional (face-to-face) treatment. To
justify the use of the CoCo oncology application in the traditional treatment
and to enable further implementation, it is important to evaluate the use of
the application among patients.
Study objective
Primary goal of this study is to evaluate the use of and satisfaction with the
CoCo oncology application among cancer survivors in het Roessingh, center for
rehabilitation. Secondary goal is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the
implementation of the CoCo oncology application in the traditional treatment.
Study design
The implementation of the CoCo oncology application will be evaluated in a
cross-sectional study. The clinical effectiveness will be investigated in a
exploratively controlled study. Three conditions will be compared: (1)
traditional treatment (based on historical data), (2) traditional treatment +
CoCo oncology application, (3) shortened traditional treatment + CoCo oncology
application.
Intervention
The CoCo oncology application is a technology assisted service to improve
physial and mental fitness. The application consists of two modules for the
patient: (1) activity registration with feedback and (2) online exercise
program values-based choices. The application further contains a module
telemonitoring (for the therapist), which summarizes several patient results.
Study burden and risks
The risks associated with participation in this study are minimal. Participants
receive traditional (face-to-face) treatment and have the ability to use the
CoCo oncology application at home (as supplement to their traditional
treatment). This application consists of an activity registration (twice one
week), online information (texts and films), and exercises. Daily, the patient
is asked to fill a few online questions (2-5 minutes each day). At three times
the patient is asked to complete an extensive questionnaire (30-45 minutes each
time). Drugs and physical procedures are no part of the protocol. Main study
parameters only consist of patient-reported questionnaires and information
registered by the system. Most of these questionnaires are already included in
the traditional treatment and do not add extra burden to the patient.
