Filter by:Negative psychological effects of cancer are common, but cancer survivors are rarely offered structured psychological treatment. Internet-delivered treatments have shown some promise, but specific treatment components have not been empirically evaluated which means that it is not clear which therapies that should be prioritized. In this factorial pilot study, 48 cancer survivors with psychiatric symptoms are enrolled in variations on a 10-week therapist-guided online psychological treatment intended to address common negative psychological long-term effects of cancer. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of the study design and online treatment format. Key feasibility outcomes include interest in the study, patient-reported credibility of the intervention, adherence to the treatment protocol, satisfaction with the treatment, acceptability of the measurement strategy, missing data rates, adverse events, and preliminary efficacy on anxiety, depression, the fear of recurrence, and health-related quality of life.
The goal of this interventional study is to analyze the impact of a supervised oncological exercise intervention in surviving breast cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Evaluate the efectivity of a supervised individualized and adapted oncological physical exercise program in the cardiovascular fitness of the participants. - Analyze the impact of this intervention in the body composition, functionality and quality of life of the parcitipants Participants will perform a controlled and adapted program, supervised by an especialized professional during 16 weeks. Researchers will compare this intervention group, where the supervised program will take place, with a control group, where the patients will perform regular physical activity (non-supervised) to see the changes in the efectivity and impact in cardiovascular fitness, body composition and quality of life.
Rates of cancer survivorship are on the rise and cancer survivors face unique health challenges that are common across cancer types that last well beyond the cessation of cancer treatment (e.g., increased fatigue, anxiety/depression, fear of recurrence, risk of cardiovascular disease, and lower health-related quality of life). While physical activity (PA) has favorable effects on these health parameters and is highly recommended for cancer survivors, this population engages in lower-than-average levels of PA. Effective PA interventions with high translation potential are important for improving the health of this population. The Internet overcome barriers to traditional face-to-face treatment programs (e.g., high cost, participant burden, geographical constraints) and represents a disseminable intervention approach. While behaviorally-based Internet programs significantly increase PA in other health domains, the application of these programs to cancer survivors is relatively new. This study will randomize 50 cancer survivors to a 12-week Internet PA program or usual-care newsletter condition. Primary outcomes include intervention engagement and program satisfaction related to the Internet program and changes in PA by intervention arm at post-treatment (3 months). Secondary aims include comparison of intervention arms on changes in sleep, weight, fatigue, anxiety/depression, health-related quality of life, and fear of recurrence.
This is a single-arm longitudinal group to examine patient-reported outcomes, body mass and mammographic density changes pre- and post- weight loss intervention of breast cancer survivors using video conferencing telehealth visits.
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.
