Summary
This study evaluates the value of a nursing symptom support en selfmanagement intervention for adult patients with cancer treated with chemotherapy. Using a prospective sequential design with a comparison group who receives standard care and a (later) intervention group who gets the nursing intervention, we will evaluate the effect of this nursing intervention on overall symptom distress (primary outcome) and other measures of symptom burden, self-efficacy, outcome expectations and self-care. By conducting sem-structured interviews with some participants of the intervention group, we will study the patient experience of the intervention.
