Unfortunately, older adults report multiple treatment-related symptoms but use few strategies to self-manage these symptoms due to erroneous beliefs related to the effectiveness of commonly taught self-management strategies. We developed a novel serious game, Managing at Home (MAH), to help older adults learn how to effectively self-manage CINV at home.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n This study has 2 aims. Aim 1 is to examine changes in CINV severity, self-management behaviors, functioning, quality of life, cognitive representation, and health care use within the intervention group from baseline (T1) to completion of the study (T6). Aim 2 is to determine the efficacy of the MAH intervention by comparing differences in primary outcomes (CINV severity and health care use) and secondary outcomes (self-management behaviors, functioning, and quality of life) between the intervention and control groups at each follow-up visit (T2-T6) and completion of the study (T6).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n This is a longitudinal randomized clinical trial. We will collect data from 500 older adults receiving cancer-related chemotherapy at baseline (T1) and at each treatment cycle until cycle 6 (T6). Participants will be enrolled if they are 60 years or older of age, are newly diagnosed with cancer, being treated with any chemotherapy agent with moderate or high emetic potential, are on a 2-, 3-, or 4-week treatment cycle, are proficient in English, and have a telephone. Previous diagnosis or treatment for cancer, end-stage disease with less than 6 months to live, and uncorrected visual or hearing impairment are exclusion criteria.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n This study was funded in September 2022 and received institutional review board approval in October 2022. As of July 2023, the enrollment of participants is ongoing and currently has 130 enrolled participants. Data collection and analysis will be complete in 2027.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n This study addresses self-management of CINV in older adults using an innovative serious game. The MAH intervention uses simulation and gaming technology to engage older adults in active learning in order to reframe erroneous perceptions about symptom self-management. If shown to be effective, it can easily be adapted to include other cancer-related symptoms or other chronic illnesses.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Trial Registration<\/jats:title>\n
