Opis projektu
Bliższe spojrzenie na osoby starsze z chorobą nowotworową i ich rodziny
Zapewnienie wysokiej jakości, rzetelnej i możliwej do opłacenia opieki milionom starszych osób chorych na raka i ich przepracowanym opiekunom jest dużym wyzwaniem dla sektora opieki zdrowotnej i gospodarki. Finansowany przez UE projekt NAVIGATE ma na celu ocenę skuteczności i opłacalności innowacyjnej interwencji u ponad 530 pacjentów w wieku 70 lat i starszych cierpiących na choroby nowotworowe oraz ich opiekunów w różnych systemach opieki zdrowotnej w Europie. Interwencja oparta jest na sprawdzonym kanadyjskim programie wsparcia opartym na wolontariacie, który wspiera osoby z problemami zdrowotnymi i ich rodziny w celu poprawy jakości życia i samopoczucia, upodmiotowienia pacjentów oraz ułatwienia szybkiego i niezawodnego dostępu do usług i zasobów opieki zdrowotnej i społecznej.
Cel
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.
