Description du projet
Un examen plus attentif des personnes âgées atteintes de cancer et de leurs familles
Il est particulièrement important pour les soins de santé et l’économie de fournir des soins de haute qualité, équitables et rentables à des millions de personnes âgées atteintes de cancer et à leurs aidants familiaux souvent surchargés. Le projet NAVIGATE, financé par l’UE, entend évaluer l’efficacité et le rapport coût-efficacité d’une intervention de navigation innovante chez plus de 530 patients atteints de cancer âgés de 70 ans et plus et leurs aidants familiaux dans différents systèmes de santé en Europe. L’intervention est basée sur un programme canadien de navigation bénévole testé avec succès qui aide les personnes dont la santé décline et leurs familles à améliorer leur qualité de vie et leur bien-être, à favoriser l’autonomisation et à faciliter un accès opportun et équitable aux services et ressources de santé et de soins sociaux.
Objectif
Background: Most people who have cancer are older people, affecting millions of Europeans each year. Providing high-quality, equitable, and cost-effective care across the continuum of supportive, palliative, end-of-life, and survivorship care for both patients and their frequently overburdened family caregivers is highly relevant from an economic, a healthcare and a prevention perspective.
Aims: The EU NAVIGATE project is an interdisciplinary, cross-country and intersectoral project aiming to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a Navigation Intervention (NavCare-EU) for older people with cancer and their family caregivers in different health care systems in Europe.
Concept and methods: NavCare-EU is a person- and family-centered non-pharmacological intervention in which navigators collaborate with patients and families to improve quality of life and well-being, foster empowerment, and facilitate timely and equitable access to health and social care services and resources as needed, throughout the supportive and palliative care continuum. NavCare-EU is based on the existing and successfully tested Nav-Care intervention from Canada. Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness will be evaluated through an international pragmatic randomized controlled trial among 532 cancer patients aged 70 years and older and their family caregivers. Robust mixed-method subgroup analyses and in-depth process and implementation evaluations are also included.
Impact: EU NAVIGATE will advance the state of the art by providing innovative solutions to the complex supportive and palliative care needs experienced by older cancer patients and their families, which is implementable in the real world and in diverse health care systems and contexts. User and stakeholder involvement methods are integrated throughout the whole project.
