Official title

Programme d'Éducation Thérapeutique et d'Accompagnement Infirmier Vers Les Soins de Support, Chez Les Patientes Sous Hormonothérapie Pour un Cancer du Sein Non métastatique

Overview

To compare the efficacy of the addition of a therapeutic education program combined with nursing phone follow-up, compared to conventional management alone, on the management of adverse events (AEs) related to adjuvant hormone therapy during the first year of treatment in patients with non-metastatic breast cancer.

Detailed description

The main objective of the ETAPH project is to offer breast cancer patients multidisciplinary care that will limit the impact of adverse effects related to hormone therapy treatment and improve their quality of life. The achievement of this objective is based on therapeutic education and nursing follow-up throughout the first year of treatment, which, thanks to active listening and coordination of the various players, will enable global and personalized patient care.

Interventions

  • Other Therapeutic Education and Nursing Support Program for Supportive Care
    In addition to the conventional oncology follow-up, patients will participate in an initial educational assessment day within 15 days before or after their first dose of hormone therapy. A discussion between the patient and the pivot nurse will then make it possible to define personalized objectives, thus guiding the choice of workshops in the outpatient educational program.

Primary outcome measures

  • To compare the effectiveness of adding a therapeutic education program combined with nursing phone follow-up, compared to conventional management alone on the management of adverse events related to adjuvant hormone therapy. [Time frame: For a year]
Secondary outcome measures (10)
  • To compare the effectiveness of adding the program to conventional management alone in terms of quality of life for patients on hormone therapy at baseline (Day 0), Month 6 and Month 12. [Time frame: Change from baseline at Month 6 and Month 12]
  • To compare the effectiveness of adding the program to conventional management alone in terms of sleep quality at baseline (Day 0), Month 6 and Month 12. [Time frame: Change from baseline at Month 6 and Month 12]
  • To compare the effectiveness of adding the program to conventional management alone in terms of drug use for the management of adverse events throughout the study. [Time frame: From date of first Hormone Therapy intake to 12 months]
  • To compare the effectiveness of adding the program to conventional management alone in terms of therapeutic compliance at Month 6 and Month 12. [Time frame: Change from Month 6 and Month 12]
  • To compare the effectiveness of adding the program to conventional management alone in terms of patients' confidence regarding the use of hormone therapy at Day 0, Month 6 and Month 12. [Time frame: Change from baseline at Month 6 and Month 12]

  • To compare the effectiveness of adding the program to conventional management alone in terms of medico-economic impact of the program, in terms of cost-utility. [Time frame: For a year]
  • To assess patient interest in and adherence to the proposed program in the experimental group. [Time frame: For a year]
  • To describe the non-drug means used by patients to manage their adverse events and their use of supportive care during the study. [Time frame: For a year]
