Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigates the effects of a CBT- based intervention on depression, anxiety, immune function, quality of life, and overall survival. It also explores if the effects of the intervention on immune function and quality of life are mediated through the improvements in depression and anxiety among patients with liver cancer.


Clinical Trial Description

In the present research project, the investigators have developed a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-based intervention protocol to investigate the impact of this intervention on depression, anxiety, quality of life, immune function, and overall survival in patients diagnosed with liver cancer. Additionally, this research protocol aims to examine the hypothesized mechanisms underlying the effects of the CBT-based intervention on quality of life and immune function. Specifically, we will investigate: 1) whether the effect of the CBT-based intervention on quality of life is mediated by improvements in anxiety and depression, and 2) whether the effect of the CBT-based intervention on immune function is mediated by improvements in anxiety and depression among patients with liver cancer. A total of 160 participants will be recruited and randomly assigned to either the CBT-based intervention group or an educational group receiving non-psychological interventions. Assessments will be conducted at baseline (pre-treatment) and at 3, 6, and 12 months after the intervention period. Survival data will be collected throughout the follow-up period until the patients' end-of-life. By examining the effects of the CBT-based intervention on multiple outcomes and exploring the potential mediating mechanisms, this research project aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the intervention's effectiveness and its impact on the well-being of liver cancer patients. ;
