“…There were 45 logged-in users over the sixmonth study period; however, the number of unique visitors (637) was much higher. Hansen J. et al found that users only read websites cursorily (Weinreich et al, 2008;Ruland et al, 2013) and that sites generally attract a greater number of readers compared to number of registered users (Hansen and Lundsby Jensen, 2009). The number of returning visitors (56.6%) shows that users re-access the BTW, which is comparable to visitor behaviour on other and similar websites Hansen and Lundsby Jensen, 2009).…”

“…Future research should focus on delivery modalities that decrease burden and increase acceptability in a larger proportion of caregivers (e.g., those who are feeling too overwhelmed to attend in-person intervention sessions). Telephone interventions have been successful in providing efficacious psychosocial interventions for cancer patients and caregivers [36][37][38][39] and recent research on web-based interventions [40][41][42] and interventions using Smart phones and other delivery platforms [43] appear promising. These interventions provide more flexibility and cancer caregivers report they would reduce burden [44].…”

Our evidence-based stress management intervention for Allo-HSCT caregivers was feasible. Variability in acceptability and challenges in implementation are discussed and suggestions for refinement of the intervention are outlined. Dissemination efforts could improve by using alternative methods for providing caregiver support such as telephone or video chat to accommodate caregivers who are unable to attend in-person sessions.

“…Previous studies also reveal positive effects for Web-based treatment and information regarding HRQoL and participation in own care, suggesting that more studies on interactive health communication applications (IHCAs) are needed to support these findings. 7,8 The Benefits of Interactive Health Communication Applications…”

The Development of a Nurse-Led Internet-Based Learning and Self-care Program for Cancer Patients With Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression—A Part of U-CARE

Background: Having access to information about the disease and being encouraged to participate in self-care activities may reduce anxiety and depression symptoms in cancer patients. Internet-based interventions may be one way to support effective self-care strategies to improve emotional well-being and health-related quality of life. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the development and acceptance of an Internet-based program intended to support cancer patients with anxiety and depression symptoms. Methods: A structured collaboration between patients, clinicians, and researchers was used to develop a theory- and evidence-based interactive health communication application (IHCA) based on Orem’s self-care deficit nursing theory with influences from Bandura’s social learning theory and psychoeducation. Results: The result is an IHCA described as a Nurse-led, Internet-based Learning and Self-care program that helps patients to perform self-care using different types of material in interaction with patients and healthcare staff. The acceptance of the program is consistent with the results of similar studies. Conclusions: Collaboration between patients, clinicians, and researchers seems to be a fruitful approach in the development of an IHCA aiming to support cancer patients’ self-care strategies. Well-designed intervention studies are needed to evaluate the effects of the IHCA. Implications for Practice: This article suggests a theoretical foundation for an IHCA and allows researchers and healthcare providers to take part in the discussion regarding format and content of IHCAs.
