New nurse program aims to ease cancer survivors' transition home
NCT ID NCT07273682
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
