|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of using oncological supportive cares after evaluation of supportive care needs reviewed by a professional of health, by a phone call | 4 to 6 weeks after baseline | Assess the percentage of using oncological supportive cares after evaluation of supportive care needs reviewed by a professional. The use of supportive cares is evaluated with an hetero-questionnaire created for this study. The hetero-questionnaire consists in a phone call to evaluate the evolution of each item of the self-assessment questionnaire (which includes 6 evaluations : a nutritional evaluation (10 items), a social evaluation (8 items), a psychologic evaluation (6 items), a physiological evaluation (7 items), a pain evaluation (4 items) and a supportive care needs evaluation (6 items)). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assess the correlation between supportive care needs and age | This analyse will be realized at the end of the study (9 weeks after baseline) | Correlate the percentage of supportive care needs to age by a Pearson Chi squared test |
| Assess the correlation between supportive care needs and sexe | This analyse will be realized at the end of the study (9 weeks after baseline) | Correlate the percentage of supportive care needs to sexe by a Pearson Chi squared test. |
| Assess the correlation between supportive care needs and type of cancer | This analyse will be realized at the end of the study (9 weeks after baseline) | Correlate the percentage of supportive care needs to the type of cancer by a Pearson Chi squared test |
| Evaluation of initial supportive care needs by the self-assessment questionnaire | baseline | Assess the percentage of initial supportive care needs evaluated by the self-assessment questionnaire created for this study. It includes evaluations : a nutritional evaluation (10 items), a social evaluation (8 items), a psychologic evaluation (6 items), a physiological evaluation (7 items), a pain evaluation (4 items) and a supportive care needs evaluation (6 items). |

Then compare these values by using a T- test of Student |
| Assess the percentage of requirement to the physician during the study | 4 to 6 weeks after baseline (by a phone call, at the same time than the hetero-questionnaire) | Assess the percentage of requirement to the physician during the study by asking each patient (by phone call) |
| Compare the percentage of using a supportive care professional judgement in regard to read and unread questionnaires by medical staff | This analyse will be realized at the end of the study (9 weeks after baseline) | Assess the percentage of using a supportive care when the medical staff read the completed questionnaire. Assess the percentage of using a supportive care when the medical staff didn't read the completed questionnaire. Then compare these values by using a T- test of Student. |
