Official title
The Effect of a Multi-modal Program on Fear of Cancer Recurrence, Breast Cancer Symptoms and Social Support in Breast Cancer Patients
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if MMP intervention can alleviate FCR , breast cancer symptoms and social support among breast cancer patients. he main questions it aims to answer are: * Null Hypotheses (H0): There is no significant difference in FCR, breast cancer symptoms, and social support between the MMP intervention group and the control group. * Alternative Hypotheses (H1): There are significant differences in FCR, breast cancer symptoms, and social support between the MMP intervention group and the control group Researchers will compare MMP to a routine care to see if MMP works to alleviate FCR, breast cancer symptoms and social support. Participants will: * Receive interventions once per chemotherapy cycle for 8 weeks. * The FCRI-SF, MSAS-SF-SC, and SSRS scales will be utilized to assess FCR levels, breast cancer symptoms and social support in both the experimental and control groups, with measurements conducted at baseline (T1), 8 weeks post-intervention (T2), and 12 weeks post-intervention (T3).
Interventions
- Other Multi-Modal Program (MMP)
MMP includes three modules: addressing psychological problems such as FCR; addressing problems related to breast cancer symptoms; and addressing tangible problems such as social support. Each module is divided into the chemotherapy period (hospitalization) and the chemotherapy interval (post-discharge). Each phase involves face-to-face, digital, and remote tools, with the intervention lasting 8 weeks. Each module has a different goal, and depending on the goal setting, the topic of the intervent - Other Routine care
The control group will receive routine care.
Primary outcome measures
- Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory-Short Form [Time frame: baseline; 8 weeks post-intervention; 12 weeks post-intervention]
- The Social Support Rating Scale [Time frame: baseline; 8 weeks post-intervention; 12 weeks post-intervention]
- The Chinese version of memorial symptom assessment scal [Time frame: baseline; 8 weeks post-intervention; 12 weeks post-intervention]
