PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 2 months (Follow up survey)

Population: Thirty -four participants (17 patients and 17 caregivers) who completed the survey questionnaires were included.

Usability of Reported Outcomes - Patient Reported Outcomes - Informed Symptom Management System (PRISMS) evaluates three aspects: General, content, and navigation, contains 19 items on a 5-point Likert scale, where 1 is "strongly disagree" and 5 is "strongly agree". The score for each aspect was calculated as the sum of the scores from all items in this aspect. The scores ranged between 5 and 25 for General and Content, and the Navigation score ranged between 9 and 45. The higher score of the specific aspect that patients and their caregivers reported indicates the better usability of the aspect. This survey was offered separately at the follow-up visit to patients and their caregivers. Participants who completed at least 80.00% of the questions were included in the analysis. Usual Care and Informed Symptom Management System (PRISMS) group scores were compared.

The program has increased my knowledge about managing my symptoms and complications. Q6. The program has improved how I manage my symptoms and complications. Q7. The program has improved how I communicate with my family about sensitive topics related to my cancer care. Q8. The time and effort took me to complete. Q9. My knowledge about how my cancer has affected my partner and our relationship was improved. This survey was offered at the follow-up visit to patients and their caregivers separately.

Quality of Life Change Over Time as Assessed by The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G) at baseline and follow-up visit to patients and their caregivers separately. Change from baseline is the post-baseline value minus the Baseline value. FACT-G is a 27-item survey that assesses physical, social/family, emotional, and functional well-being on a 5-point Likert scale, with 0 indicating "not at all" and 4 indicating "very much" in response to item questions. The total FACT-G score is calculated as the sum of four sub-scores including physical, social/family, emotional, and functional well-being. Total scores range between 0-108. Higher scores indicated better well-being. It has also demonstrated sensitivity to change over time Mean FACT-G difference between baseline and 2 months were presented.

Difference of Anxiety Change Over Time as Assessed by PROMIS-Emotional Distress-Anxiety Short Form 7a used to examine the change in anxiety among patients and their caregivers separately, from Baseline to follow up (2 months). For all PROMS measurements, total raw scores are translated into T scores for each participant, where the T score rescales the raw score into a standardized T score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. The anxiety sub-scale of the PROMIS item bank measures the extent to which participants experience anxiety symptoms over the past 7 days using a 5-point Likert scale (1=never; 2=rarely; 3=sometimes; 4=often; and 5=always) with the total scores range from 36.3 to 82.7 with higher scores reflect higher anxiety.

Change of Depression Change Over Time as Assessed by PROMIS-Emotional Distress-Depression Short From 8b will be assessed by PROMIS-Emotional Distress-Depression Short From 8b. It is used to measure the change in depression scores among patients and their partners from Baseline (T1) to T2 (2 months post-T1). Required by the PROMIS scoring instrument, for all PROMS measurements, total raw scores are translated into T scores for each participant, where the T score rescales the raw score into a standardized T score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. The depression sub-scale of the PROMIS item bank measures the extent to which participants experience depressive symptoms in the past 7 days using a 5-point Likert scale (1=never; 2=rarely; 3=sometimes; 4=often; and 5=always) with the total scores range from 24.7 to 63.5 with higher scores indicate greater depressive symptoms.

It was offered to patients and their caregivers separately. Required by the PROMIS scoring instrument, for all PROMS measurements, total raw scores are translated into T scores for each participant, where the T score rescales the raw score into a standardized T score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10.

Population: Thirty -four participants (17 patients and 17 caregivers) who completed the survey questionnaires were included.

PROMIS Fatigue -Short Form 7a is used to measure the change in Fatigue among patients and their caregivers separately, from Baseline (T1) to T2 (2 months post-T1). Required by the PROMIS scoring instrument, for all PROMS measurements, total raw scores are translated into T scores for each participant, where the T score rescales the raw score into a standardized T score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. The fatigue scale measures the extent to which patients and their partners experience problems with fatigue over the past 7 days using a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores reflect greater fatigue. Score value ranges between 29.4 - 83.2.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 2 months

Population: Patients' caregivers participants responded to the survey questionnaire.

Change in Sleep among caregivers. was assessed by the 22-item version of the Zarit Burden Interview is a caregiver self-reported instrument.
