HOPE Program: Quality of Life Enhancement and Survivorship Care
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess feasibility of instituting an orientation program, brief follow up care and phone
calls in this patient population.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. 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.
