Web-Based Tailored Education Program for Disease-Free Cancer Survivors With Cancer-Related Fatigue: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

An Internet-based education program based on NCCN guidelines and TTM may help patients manage CRF.

An evidence-based stress management intervention for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant caregivers: development, feasibility and acceptability

“…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].…”

A systematic review of types and efficacy of online interventions for cancer patients

“…Interactive websites QoL Salzer [39] Yun [43], Osei [32] Lieberman [37] Osei [32] Owen [38], Ruland [51], van den Brink [33] …”

“…This review includes studies of patients with lung cancer [31], prostate cancer [32], head and neck cancer [33] and breast cancer [34][35][36][37][38][39][40], as well as mixed cancer populations [41][42][43][44].…”

eHealth to support cancer survivors : development, implementation and evaluation of an interactive portal

“…In this review we identified only one paper in the cancer field that met our eligibility criteria. Recently, however, positive results of a web-based intervention to reduce depression in cancer survivors [45], and of a webbased, tailored education program to reduce cancer-related fatigue and anxiety [46] have been reported. Several additional RCT's of web-based interventions for cancer patients are currently on-going (www.clinicaltrials.gov).…”

“…The 4 reviews included 46 unique IT services (described in 74 studies). The additional search and expert input yielded additional information on 5 patient portal services, 6 e-PRO services and 3 electronic survivorship care (plan) support systems [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55] (see Appendix 2.2 for an overview). IT services could be divided into five categories: 1) educational services (including electronic survivorship care plan services); 2) patient-to-patient services;…”
