Effect of telephone follow-up on the physical well-being dimension of quality of life in patients with cancer.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of telephone follow-up on the physical well-being dimension of health-related quality of life in patients with cancer. DESIGN:Randomized, controlled trial. SETTING:Public teaching hospital. PATIENTS:One hundred fifty patients with cancer who were discharged to home from the hospital. INTERVENTION:Patients received a telephone follow-up call 48-72 hours after discharge. Information was solicited regarding drug-related (and other) problems. Problems were addressed, and advice and support were given. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:Analysis of variance revealed no differences in the physical well-being dimension of health-related quality of life between patients who received telephone follow-up and a control group who did not. Sixty-eight percent of the follow-up group and 40% of the control group (p = 0.007) reported having had at least one contact with a health professional. CONCLUSION:One possible explanation for the lack of effect of the intervention is that high-risk patients in the control group received a similar intervention from other health care professionals. We suggest that telephone follow-up be coordinated among health professionals.
