The present study aims to develop a stakeholder-engaged nurse practitioner (NP)-led intervention to improve diabetes care for patients with breast cancer and diabetes who are ongoing chemotherapy.
This is a pilot feasibility study, in which we will use a quasi-experimental pre-post design with non-randomized intervention and control groups. In this feasibility study, the investigators will first enroll 38 eligible patients for the control group and collect effectiveness measures at baseline and follow-up (end of chemotherapy, ~12 weeks). Through chart review, the investigators will document chemotherapy regimen completion at follow-up. The investigators will then enroll 38 patients for the intervention group, collecting the effectiveness and implementation outcomes at the end of chemotherapy (~12 weeks).
The main hypothesis that will be tested in this pilot study is that a nurse practitioner embedded in the oncology team who is trained in diabetes management may successfully manage diabetes during active breast cancer care for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
