Filter by:The primary objective is to evaluate the validity and reliability of using videoconferencing to assess physical performance tests self-administered by older cancer survivors in their own homes. This remote assessment will be compared to the traditional face-to-face (i.e., in-person) assessment and to accelerometer data.
More than 70 % of Norwegian cancer patients become longtime survivors. Even if research documents that a large number strive with physical and psychosocial late effects from cancer and cancer treatment, cancer rehabilitation is not an integrated part of the cancer trajectory. Especially, there is a lack of knowledge and research based cancer rehabilitation in primary health care. In this study, the researchers pilot a cancer rehabilitation program in primary health care using a mixed method with a longitudinal pre-post design and focus group interviews. The overall goal is to study the program's feasibility and adherence, as well as outcomes on quality of life and participation. The project will provide new and important knowledge of cancer rehabilitation in primary health care, as well as important knowledge in on planning and designing a larger RCT study on the topic.
The project is a non-randomized intervention study with group-based physical exercise. Cancer survivors who have participated in the rehabilitation program at the Center for Education and Rehabilitation are included in the study. The cancer and cancer treatment have led to patients struggling with physical, mental and social late effects which prevent them from functioning in everyday life and return to work. The purpose of the project is to investigate whether one municipal group training measure can help to lower the threshold for the user to maintain good exercise habits and return to work / everyday life, as well as the effect on the user's physical form and quality of life and the transition between health level and the body itself measure.
The investigators propose to apply neuroplasticity-based computerized cognitive remediation (nCCR) to treat chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment (CRCI).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a 1-day expressive writing intervention for adult cancer survivors improves resilience scores as measured by the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC).
Development and internal validation of an easy-to-use tool for clinical pain assessment. The tool has to be applicable in any clinical practice and without the need for expensive and complicated hospital tools to identify the source of persistent pain after the treatment of cancer.
The investigators plan to investigate the consequences of late effects (radiation-induced survivorship syndromes) after radiotherapy in Gynecological and Prostate cancer survivors on return to work (Yes/No) and if RTW happened then time to RTW. In addition, whether general health, type of work (occupation), work environment factors, individual factors (lifestyle, socioeconomic status etc.), contribute to the adverse late effects of radiotherapy and these Gynecological cancer survivors have a higher risk for disability pension/long term sickness absence (NOT Return to work).
This study will introduce cancer survivors to cross-training with the expectation that the program proposed will ultimately result in superior improvements in functional performance, body composition and quality of life compared with the current American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines for cancer survivors.
This is a pilot feasibility study of a group-based, mind body intervention for managing stress and fear of recurrence and promoting resiliency among adult cancer survivors.
This study is an NCI-funded, randomized control pilot trial to evaluate: (1) the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based, personalized navigation tool (ConnectedCancerCare) and (2) explore whether the tool improves delivery of team-based survivorship care for women who have recently finished primary breast cancer treatment.
