"The Impact of the WOMAN-PRO II Program on Patients With Vulvar Neoplasia to Minimize Post-surgical Symptom Prevalence"

During treatment and routine follow-up consultations, patients randomized to standard care will be provided with usual care and a predefined set of additional written information leaflets about supportive care options in the early treatment phase designed for the study.Usual care includes treatment during hospitalization by the gynecologist and the nurses according to the existing guidelines. At each follow-up visit, the gynecologist will conduct a physical examination. The follow-ups include also treatment of adverse effects of the therapy and rehabilitation.

This intervention is in addition to standard care. Nurse-led follow-up consultations with the WOMAN-PRO II program complementary to physician appointments have the goal to support women's self-management abilities in order to deal with occurring symptoms and related distress. Content of the WOMAN-PRO II program designed for this study is summarized in a handbook for professionals including patient clinical pathways and nurse interventions, supplemented by a patient booklet (paper based and electronic version) with tailored information according to patients' needs. The program includes five consultations with an approximate total duration of two hours.
