Patient-Reported Outcomes Among Women Wtih Gynecological Cancer (The CONNECT Study)

Systematic nurse-led consultations based on electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) will be tested among women with ovarian - and endometrial cancer receiving first-line chemotherapy.

Women with ovarian- and endometrial cancer often experiences a high disease and treatment-related physical and psychological burden. Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) have the potential to improve patient-clinician communication, symptom management, involvement, and quality of life. Electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) can facilitate appropriate and continuous symptom monitoring reported by the patients. Nurses are with their holistic approach and their specialized knowledge and experience in a prominent position to address and facilitate symptom-management in a multidisciplinary context. The overall aim of this study is to develop a model of care for systematic nurse-led consultations based on ePRO facilitating symptom management and to investigate how these consultations can be a part of the multidisciplinary treatment regimen for women with ovarian- and endometrial cancer receiving chemotherapy.
