Timeline
Interventions
During hospitalization, participants will receive needs assessment, and one-on-one cost-related health education with a material booklet. Resource and service referral will be delivered face-to-face or by phone when the navigator identifies unaddressed problems. Within three months after discharge, participants will receive monthly follow-up phone calls and personalized counseling via WeChat.
Participants will receive usual oncology care during hospitalization and regular follow-up after discharge. Participants have the freedom to utilize any financial resources, but financial navigators do not offer comprehensive information support.
