What this Trial Is About
Study Purpose: The study aims to assess how effective e-health interventions are at improving mental health help-seeking intentions and behaviours among breast cancer patients. Intervention: E-health interventions will be utilized to encourage patients to seek mental health support. These interventions are designed to be accessible and convenient, offering support and information through digital platforms. Participants: The study will involve breast cancer patients between the ages of 18 and 65. Key Objectives: Primary Goal: To measure any changes in patients' intentions and actions to seek mental health support before and after using e-health interventions. Secondary Goals: To explore how these interventions impact mental health literacy, reduce self-stigma, and identify barriers and facilitators to seeking help. Comparison: The study will compare outcomes for patients using e-health tools against those receiving traditional care without digital interventions. Expected Outcomes: Researchers anticipate that e-health interventions will improve mental health help-seeking behaviours, enhance understanding of mental health issues, and reduce the stigma associated with seeking support. Significance: This study could demonstrate the potential of digital health tools to support mental well-being among breast cancer patients, providing new ways to access care and overcome traditional barriers to seeking mental health support.
