Brief Summary:
The LIFT project aims to thoroughly investigate the current status of health care in Germany regarding cancer-related fatigue from the institutional professionals and patients perspective
Detailed Description:
The LIFT project aims to thoroughly investigate the current status of health care in Germany regarding fatigue from the institutional professionals and patients perspective With a multimodal approach including a comprehensive assessment of fatigue management and support offered by different institutions uncertified hospitals uncertified oncological practices counselling units certified cancer centers n350 a survey and qualitative interviews among practicing physicians Niedergelassene Ärzte hospital physicians practicing psychotherapists with psycho-oncological focus psycho-oncologists at hospitals nurses at certified cancer centers and nurses at other hospitals n420 and a longitudinal clinical study among cancer patients n1400 as well as two focus groups with patient representatives each n6 the characteristics patterns and potential effects or shortcomings of the current fatigue management will be investigated Furthermore factors associated with patients and health care professionals knowledge about fatigue will be examined
Concerning the longitudinal clinical study assessing the patients perspective online or paper-based questionnaires on socio-demographic clinical and patient reported outcomes will be sent to the patients 6912 and 24 months after diagnosis Moreover detailed data on screening diagnosis and counseling as well as therapies offered and administered to reduce fatigue will be surveyed as well as the patients state of knowledge perception and prevailing needs regarding fatigue Tumor and cancer therapy data will be extracted from the Epidemiological Cancer Registry
The results of the LIFT project shall provide a basis to identify and overcome shortcomings in the actual fatigue management in Germany and to eventually ameliorate this severe burden in cancer patients and survivors
