RECRUITING

A Telenovela Intervention for Caregivers of African-American and Hispanic Hospice Patients

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This randomized clinical trial (RCT) intends to look at the preliminary efficacy of NOVELA (intervention group) in changing anxiety and self-efficacy compared to usual hospice care (control group). In the NOVELA intervention, hospice care will be enhanced with the telenovela videos for hospice family caregivers (HFCG) education during twice weekly hospice telehealth visits to prepare caregivers for proper use of hospice support and healthcare services.
