Abstract

Purpose: In this pilot study, we evaluated the feasibility of implementing the Needs Assessment & Service Bridge (NA-SB)- an intervention to address the pervasive unmet needs of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) during cancer treatment.

Methods: We conducted a mixed methods single-arm feasibility pilot study of NA-SB at the North Carolina Basnight Cancer Hospital. Eligible participants were AYAs ages 18-39 in active cancer treatment. After receiving NA-SB, participants completed a postintervention survey assessing their perceptions of NA-SB. We interviewed participating providers to assess their implementation experiences.

Results: On average, AYA participants (n = 26) rated NA-SB's feasibility as 4.5/5, its acceptability as 4.5/5, and its appropriateness as 4.4/5. 77% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that their needs were met in the study period.

Conclusion: This pilot study generated preliminary evidence to establish NA-SB's feasibility as well as proof of concept for the intervention as a viable approach for identifying and addressing AYAs' unmet needs.

青少年和年轻人需求评估和服务桥梁（NA-SB）：单臂可行性试点研究。

目的：在这项试点研究中，我们评估了实施需求评估和服务桥梁（NA-SB）的可行性，这是一项干预措施，旨在解决癌症治疗期间青少年和年轻人（AYA）普遍未满足的需求。方法：我们在北卡罗来纳州Basnight癌症医院进行了NA-SB的混合方法单臂可行性试验研究。符合条件的参与者是18-39岁的正在积极治疗癌症的AYA。接受NA-SB后，参与者完成了干预后的调查，评估他们对NA-SB的看法。我们采访了参与的供应商，以评估他们的实施经验。结果：平均而言，AYA参与者（n = 26）将NA-SB的可行性评为4.5/5，可接受性评为4.5.5，适当性评为4.4/5。77%的参与者同意或强烈同意他们的需求在研究期间得到了满足。结论：这项试点研究为确定NA-SB的可行性提供了初步证据，并证明了干预措施是确定和解决AYA未满足需求的可行方法的概念。

期刊介绍： Here is your single source of integrated information on providing the best psychosocial care possible from the knowledge available from many disciplines.The Journal of Psychosocial Oncology is an essential source for up-to-date clinical and research material geared toward health professionals who provide psychosocial services to cancer patients, their families, and their caregivers. The journal—the first interdisciplinary resource of its kind—is in its third decade of examining exploratory and hypothesis testing and presenting program evaluation research on critical areas, including: the stigma of cancer; employment and personal problems facing cancer patients; patient education.
