Despite the small sample size, the current study has the following strengths. First, participants in the PRISMS and UC groups were balanced with regards to demographics and baseline QOL, symptoms, and caregiver burden. Second, PRISMS was a multilevel eHealth intervention that involved patients with cancer, their caregivers, a triage WOCN, and a surgical team. PRISMS provided personalized self-management guidance based on the severity of patient symptoms and complications and utilized wearable devices to facilitate symptom monitoring. Despite the significant impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we achieved enrollment and retention rates comparable to existing family-based research. The findings of the feasibility, usability, and acceptability of PRISMS in this rigorous pilot trial laid the foundation for a sufficiently powered RCT.
