Brief Summary

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

A study to assess the effectiveness of video assisted Self Management Program on chemotherapy side effects in terms of Knowledge, Self Efficacy and Severity of side effects among the Cancer patient receiving chemotherapy at Oncology day care ILBS , New Delhi.

Primary Objective:

1. To assess the Knowledge, Self Efficacy and Severity of side effects of chemotherapy related side effects in the Experiment Vs. Comparison group among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
2. To compare the knowledge and self efficacy scores in Experimental Vs. Comparison group after video assisted SMP among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
3. To compare the severity of chemotherapy related side effects in Experiment Vs. Comparison group before and after video assisted SMP among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

Secondary Objective To find the correlation between knowledge and self efficacy scores among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy under Experimental Group.

2\. To determine the association of Severity of side effects with the knowledge and self efficacy scores among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

3\. To determine the association of knowledge, self efficacy with the socio demographic and clinical variables among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

The study assumes that:

1. Video assisted teaching is an accepted teaching strategy and enhances teaching learning activities.
2. Patients may have limited knowledge about the management of side effects related to chemotherapy including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, Constipation, dry skin, fever, alopecia related distress and pain.
3. Patients may have decrease severity of chemotherapy related side effects including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, Constipation , dry skin, fever , alopecia related distress and pain. After the self management program.

Detailed Description

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

Effectiveness A measure of the extent to which a specific intervention, procedure, regimen, or service when deployed in the field of routine circumstances, does it intended to do for a specific population. (Wojtezak, 2002) In this study, effectiveness refers to the degree to which the video assisted SMP is successful in the management of chemotherapy related side effects in terms of gain in Knowledge, self efficacy scores and reducing the severity of side effects among the cancer patient receiving chemotherapy.

Video Assisted Self Management Program It referred to an instructional aid which incorporates visual and auditory information on a topic for individual to understand and learn. (MedCrave 2016) In this study it refers to the systematically designed Video Assisted teaching program to educate cancer patients receiving chemotherapy under the experimental group about the management of chemotherapy related side effects at home .It will be one to one teaching session of 10-20 minutes conducted by the principal researcher with the help of a video on self management of chemotherapy related side effects and the video will focus on the self management of selected side effects of chemotherapy including Nausea, vomiting , Diarrhea ,Constipation, Fever , Mucositis , Skin changes , and Alopecia related distress.

Chemotherapy side effects It is the unintended effect occurring at normal dose related to the pharmacological properties. (WHO) In this study it refers to the commonly reported chemotherapy related side effects by the patients receiving chemotherapy including nausea vomiting, Diarrhea, Constipation, Fever, Mucositis, Dry skin, and Alopecia related distress in cancer patients after receiving chemotherapy.

Knowledge It is defined as the familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something such as facts, skills or objects. (Plato) In this study it refers to the correct response of the patient to the questionnaire regarding the self management of the side effects of chemotherapy. It will be assessed by the Structured Questionnaire on self management of chemotherapy related side effects with 20 items. The scores will be analyzed in the form of means.

Cancer Patients Cancer Patient is defined as a person receiving or registered to receive medical treatment in the Hospital for Cancer. (American Cancer Society) In this study it refers to the person either male or female who is suffering from any type of cancer that includes but not limited to Head and Neck, Pancreas, Liver, Gall bladder, Breast, Stomach, and mouth cancer and receiving chemotherapy at Onco day care ILBS, New Delhi at the time of data collection.

Self Efficacy It refers to an individual's belief in his or her capacity to execute behaviors necessary to produce specific performance attainments. It reflects confidence in the ability to exert control over one's own motivation, behavior and social environment. (Bandura, 1977) In this study it refers to the level of confidence of the cancer patients about their ability to manage the chemotherapy related side effects at home. It will be assessed by the structured symptom management self efficacy tool consisting of Twelve items. The mean score of self efficacy will be used to compare the Experimental and Comparison groups.

Severity of Chemotherapy Related Side Effects It refers to the degree to which a single side effect affects the patient graded on a scale of three. (Aakshdeep batra AIIMS) In this study it refers to the magnitude or the intensity (Grading) of the chemotherapy related side effects among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. It will be assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for the Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version -5 and the Chemotherapy related side effects will be assessed in terms of their presence and the severity from the day of last chemotherapy cycle to the day of present cycle. It will be a recall basis assessment.

Hypothesis

All hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance:

H1: There will be a significant difference between the Experimental and comparison group in terms of their mean gain in knowledge scores after video assisted SMP as assessed by the structured knowledge questionnaire.

H2 : There will be a significant difference between the Experimental and Comparison group in terms of their mean gain in Self efficacy scores after video assisted SMP as assessed by the self efficacy scale.

H3: There will be a significant difference between the Experimental and Comparison group in terms of their mean scores of Severity of the side effects after video assisted SMP as assessed by the CTCAE criteria.

H4: There will be a significant correlation of knowledge and self Efficacy scores in Experimental group among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

H5: There will be a significant association of severity of chemotherapy related side effects with the knowledge and self efficacy scores among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

H6: There will be a significant association of knowledge and self efficacy scores with the sociodemographic and clinical variables among the cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
