Stress Management Intervention Among Breast & Gynecologic Cancer Patients

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Psychological distress is common among Vietnamese cancer patients but often underestimated and not detected by professionals due to lack of time and overload of clinical work. Currently no established, evidence-based intervention exists to help address the mental health needs of cancer patients in Viet Nam besides the 'Stronger Together' peer mentoring intervention model that the investigators piloted in 2021-2023. The goal of this 2-arm, parallel, single-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to pilot and evaluate the Vietnamese Self Help Plus (vSH+) stress management intervention among breast and gynecologic cancer patients in Viet Nam. Aim 1- the investigators pilot the adapted vSH+ intervention. After recruitment and screening, participants are randomized into either the intervention (vSH+) or enhanced usual care (EUC) study arms. Participants are invited to attend an in-person informational session (IS) specific to their study arm, where informed consent is obtained. Aim 2- the investigators assess the potential effectiveness of the vSH+ intervention. Quantitative surveys of study outcomes measures are administered at three timepoints: T0 (baseline, in-person, during info-sessions); T1 (1-2 weeks post-intervention, via phone); and T2 (3 months post-intervention, via phone). Aim 3- the investigators conduct a qualitative process evaluation, via in-depth interview (IDIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs), to assess the acceptability and feasibility implementing and scaling up the vSH+ intervention model. Satisfaction surveys will be administered during vSH+ sessions and in-depth interviews (IDIs) will be conducted following the conclusion of the intervention. IDIs wil also be conducted with Facilitators, in addition to evaluation surveys during vSH+ sessions and supportive supervision sessions. Between T1 and T2, the investigators will conduct IDIs with Healthcare Workers and focus group discussions with Caregivers.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
