Summary

This study tests a 12-week nurse-led program for childhood cancer survivors aged 13-18 and their parents. The program includes face-to-face and online sessions to help manage symptoms, improve self-care, and connect families with other health professionals. Sixty-eight families will be randomly assigned to the program or usual care to see if it is feasible and helpful.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: nurse-facilitated interdisciplinary transitional care programme
What this could lead to: If successful, this program could improve symptom management and quality of life for childhood cancer survivors and their families during the transition from hospital to home.
What could go wrong: This is a small feasibility study with only 68 participants, so results may not apply to all survivors. The program requires active participation and may not work for everyone.
