Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will be conducted at La Liga Contra el Cancer in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. The overall objective of this project is to improve symptom management for patients undergoing chemotherapy in Honduras. The first step in this line of research is a "proof of concept" feasibility study in which the investigators will demonstrate their ability to train nurses to administer a non-pharmacological, telephone-delivered, symptom management program for chemotherapy patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators will use the team's previous experience delivering a standardized, non-pharmacological palliative care intervention by telephone to inform a "proof of concept" feasibility study in Honduras. They will train nurses at La Liga Contra el Cancer in San Pedro Sula to conduct the telephone sessions and monitor their fidelity to treatment as they enroll a minimum They will then evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of the program.
