Guest Estrea Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 A member of this board, Teresa Goodell, a nurse, is working on a research study that she is hoping will help future LC patients. A family member of a LC patient herself, she knows how difficult it is to deal with and hope to find a way to make it easier. If you are interested, please contact her. Lung Cancer Patients Needed for Symptom Study Sixty people with non-small-cell lung cancer are needed to take part in a study examining the influence of beliefs about lung cancer on symptom distress. Study participants will fill out four questionnaires, and 20 people will also be interviewed by the investigator about their symptoms and how they perceive them. Filling out the questionnaires takes about 20 minutes. The interviews take 20 to 60 minutes. All study participants will have an opportunity to talk about their illness with the investigator, a clinical nurse specialist and an Oregon Health & Science University School of Nursing doctoral candidate. Study participants may request a brief summary of their own survey rresults, if they wish. Contact Teresa Goodell, R.N., C.N.S., at 503 522-2076 or lungcancerstudy@hotmail.com to learn more about the study. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
