Objectives
Narrative objectives1
The purpose of this quasi-experimental study (comparison between pre- and post intervention) is to evaluate the effectiveness of the STEP Program that aims at facilitating postsurgical recovery of esophageal cancer patients through partnership between patients, family, surgeons, and nurses. This program also aims at supporting patients and their family to live post-discharge lives appropriately, alleviating symptoms, and improving quality of life.
The investigators have conducted 6-month post-surgical feasibility study of the STEP program at a large cancer center hospital. Based upon this feasibility study, we further refined the program and will conduct this pilot study as a first step to disseminate this program nationally.

Assessment
Primary outcomes
Evaluation of postsurgical recovery and quality of life of patients (levels of daily physical activity, quality of life, body mass index, etc. before surgery, before discharge from hospital, 2 weeks after discharge, 3 months after surgery, 6 months after surgery)
Key secondary outcomes
- Estimated sample size will be calculated that is needed for further large-scale interventional study.
- Training sessions will be provided for nurses who are responsible for the STEP program with the aim of improving skills for patient education and communication. Nurses self-rated skills will be evaluated before and after the training.
- Problems of the current STEP program will be discussed based upon the current study results; improvements for the further large-scale STEP program will be identified.

Interventions/Control_1
- Provide educational and counseling program for the patient participants with the aim of their health behavior maintenance and modification, including patient specific goal setting and evaluation. Specifically, this program facilitates patient participants' adequate swallowing, nutrition taking, and physical activity, through structured self-monitoring skills including daily log.
- Intervention timing/frequency: (1) preoperative (during hospitalization), (2) postoperative (during hospitalization), (3) one week after discharge (follow-up by telephone), (4) two weeks after discharge (outpatient), (5) thru (7) 3-, 6-, and 12-month after surgery (outpatient).
- Each nurse counseling session will be approximately 15 to 30 minutes; however, nurses will discuss with patient/family to coordinate time (when and how long) and content (what to discuss/instruct) of counseling. Timing and content of counseling will be recorded and will be shared with patient's surgeon with the aim of coordinated care.
