To examine the effect of a self-monitoring quality of life (QOL) intervention on global QOL andphysical and emotional function in patients with cancer receiving palliative care. Methods: Prospective randomizedstudy had been undertaken at Toshima Hospital, Japan. This study compared an intervention group that completed theshortened Care Notebook booklet versus a control group that received usual care. The primary outcome was global QOLand secondary outcomes were physical and emotional function. Participants completed the European Organization forResearch and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 15 Palliative at baseline, and at 1 and 3 weeks.The effects of the intervention were evaluated with a linear mixed-effects model. Results: Forty-three patients wererandomized. One patient in each group could not receive the allocated intervention, leaving 41 patients for inclusionin the modified intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis for the primary outcome. Twenty-seven patients were analyzed for thesecondary outcomes using per protocol set (PPS). The ITT analysis showed no significant overall effect on global QOL(P=0.285), but the PPS analysis showed a significant overall effect on global QOL (P=0.034) and physical function(P=0.047) for group difference over time in the linear mixed-effects model. Conclusions: Use of the Care Notebookmight have beneficial effects. The results could be interpreted as the effectiveness of the intervention of the CareNotebook for with cancer receiving palliative care.
