About

The study aims to determine the effect of the nurse navigation program (LungCaNN), which is performed in line with the supportive care needs of newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer patients, on the level of anxiety-depression, adherence to the disease, and quality of life.

This study will be carried out with a total of 84 NSCLC patients, 42 of whom were in the intervention group and 42 in the control group, whose treatment was started in Akdeniz University Medical Oncology Outpatient Clinic and met the inclusion criteria of the sampling. Nurse navigation program will be applied for 12 weeks from the diagnosis of NSCLC patients in the intervention group. The intervention protocol of the study is abbreviated as "Lung Cancer Nurse Navigator" [LungCaNN].

Within the scope of the LungCaNN program, face-to-face patient education, patient education booklet, face-to-face, and telephone navigation initiatives were planned. Patient Identification Form, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS 21), Chronic Disease Adjustment Scale, EORTC QLQ 30 Quality of Life Scale-/ LC-13, and Navigation and Interview Steps Form will be used to collect data.
