Interprofessional, psycho‐social intervention to facilitate resilience and reduce supportive care needs for patients with cancer: Results of a noncomparative, randomized phase II trial

Abstract

Neither LI-IPSC-C nor HI-IPSC-C interventions reached the desired threshold. HI-IPSC-C showed positive effects on secondary outcomes and was feasible. Resilience as measured by the CD-RISC may not be the optimal outcome measure for this intervention.

Association of resilience with health-related quality of life and depression in multiple myeloma and its precursors: results of a German cross-sectional study

“… 37 Therefore, within a complex intervention for supportive care in cancer the researchers tried to facilitate resilience and reduce unmet supportive care needs. 38 Resilience levels could only be significantly influenced in a few participants. It must be concluded that it remains unclear whether resilience can be trained in patients with MM and other cancer entities.…”

Towards a novel approach guiding the decision-making process for anticancer treatment in patients with advanced cancer: framework for systemic anticancer treatment with palliative intent

“…The first two coupled SACT-PI steps ‘Assess patient and family’ and ‘Educate and inform patient’ can be implemented independent of the cultural or ethnical context 97 ; the steps include assessing patient preference for information and involvement in decision making. Clinicians other than physicians—namely oncology nurses 96 —can carry out these two steps, or physicians working in a culture and clinical pathways of integrated oncology and cancer PC can be involved. 98 …”

Protocol for ‘Resilient Caregivers’: a randomised trial of a resilience-based intervention for psychologically distressed partner caregivers of patients with cancer

“…One systematic review of 25 randomised trials of resilience interventions found favourable effects for enhancing resilience, improving stress and reducing depressive symptoms among a wide range of populations including soldiers, employees, students and physicians. 20 Among cancer survivors, a handful of resilience-based interventions have shown promising results for outcomes such as resilience, stress and anxiety [21][22][23][24] and a few observational studies have shown an association between resilience among caregivers of adult patients with cancer and caregiver outcomes such as self-reported health status, anxiety and depression. 3 25 26 However, no study has yet been carried out for a resilience-based intervention for cancer caregivers.…”
