Survivorship Care Planning (POSTcare-O) to Support Ovarian Cancer Survivors Transitioning to Survivorship Care

This clinical trial studies whether a survivorship care planning program, Patient-owned Survivorship Transition Care for Activated, Empowered survivors-Ovarian (POSTcare-O), supports ovarian cancer survivors in transitioning to survivorship care. The experience of cancer survivors transitioning from active treatment to survivorship is marked by uncertainty. Patients often experience anxiety and uncertainty about follow-up care and have a desire for more information about treatment and late effects of treatment. The POSTcare-O program involves a single coaching encounter with a trained nurse navigator using communication strategies to engage survivors and help with the creation of patient-owned survivorship care plans. The survivorship care plans incorporate health goals and strategies related to surveillance, symptom management, and health behavior. Patients also receive support to engage with the survivorship care plan through follow up phone calls with the trained nurse navigator. Participating in POSTcare-O may help support ovarian cancer survivors in transitioning to survivorship care, which may lower anxiety and uncertainty.
