Telehealth Intervention for Symptom Management and Adherence to Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy

Coping with AET side effects as measured by the Management of Current Stress - Part A (MOCS-A) questionnaire.

Investigators will assess changes in coping via the Measure of Current Stress - Part A (MOCS-A). The MOCS-A is a 13-item survey used to evaluate participants' perceived ability to cope using several skills. Each item is scored on a 0-4 scale, with higher scores indicating greater coping ability.

Self-reported adherence to AET as measured by the Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS-5).

Investigators will assess changes in adherence to treatment via the Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS-5). The MARS-5 is a 5-tem survey used to measure AET adherence and suboptimal adherence behaviors. The scale consists of five items that are answered on a scale of 1-5, with higher scores indicating greater adherence to the medication.

Objective AET adherence rates as measured by the Medication Events Monitoring System (MEMS Caps).

Participants will store medication in the Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS Caps) bottles to electronically monitor adjuvant endocrine therapy daily dose and timing of dose administration. Prescribed medication, dose, and timing will be identified in the Electronic Health Record and verified by the patient. Adherence will be calculated as the percentage of medication taken of the total prescribed. A mean medication adherence rate will be calculated in each group to examine differences in adherence rates and changes across the study period between groups.

Anxiety and depression symptoms as measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).

Investigators will assess changes in symptoms of depression and anxiety via the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The HADS is a 14-item, well-validated survey used widely in patients with cancer that contains two subscales assessing symptoms of depression and anxiety over the past week. Items are scored on a 0-3 scale, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Breast cancer symptom distress as measured by the Breast Cancer Prevention Trial Checklist (BCPT).

The investigators will examine changes in self-reported symptom distress using the Breast Cancer Prevention Trial Checklist (BCPT). The BCPT is a symptom checklist used to document physical and psychological symptoms associated with endocrine therapy use. The measure includes several clinically relevant symptom subscales and has been used broadly in previous studies on symptom distress in breast cancer patients. The BCPT asks participants to rate how much they have been bothered by several symptoms over the past week on a scale of 0 (Not at all bothered) to 4 (Extremely bothered). There are 8 subscales: hot flashes, nausea, bladder control, vaginal problems, musculoskeletal pain, cognitive problems, weight problems, and arm problems. For this study, we summed the 8 subscale scores for a total score ranging from 0-72, with higher scores representing greater symptom distress.

Quality of Life as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Breast (FACT-B).

Investigators will assess changes in quality of life using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Breast (FACT-B). The FACT-B is a well-validated, 37-item survey of five domains of quality of life in patients with breast cancer over the last week: physical, social, emotional, functional, well-being, and a breast cancer-specific subscale. Each item is evaluated on a 0-4 scale. Higher scores indicate greater quality of life.
