Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Nurses’ experiences and insights are collected using the in-depth individual face-to-face semi-structured interviews at the end of the implementation in September 2015 2. Nurses’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviors regarding CRF (NKAB-F) are measured using a survey designed for the purpose of this study at baseline and at the end of the end of the implementation 3. Patients’ CRF self-management ability is measured using the CRF self-management scale and self-efficacy questionnaire for CRF management (SQFM) at baseline and at the admission of the next treatment cycle that following the implementation 4. Patients’ CRF scores are evaluated daily by the nurses during their hospitalization using 0-10 scale. After the discharge, patients assess the CRF scores themselves daily and are required to record it in their CRF diaries	—
