Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) by colorectal cancer nurse specialists (CNS) to better understand and address the needs of patients undergoing chemotherapy.
- A two-phase approach was taken, first analyzing literature and conducting focus groups, followed by an exploratory study where data from PROMs was utilized to tailor supportive care during monthly consultations.
- Results indicated that using PROMs helped identify and prioritize patients' needs, with a notable reduction in reported unmet needs, illustrating the potential effectiveness of this approach in enhancing patient support.
