Effect of a 6-Week Web-Based Psychoeducation Program on Psychological Well-Being, Quality of Life, and Fear of Recurrence in Breast Cancer Survivors Who Completed Active Treatment

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a web-based psychoeducation program designed to improve psychological well-being and quality of life in women who have survived breast cancer and completed active treatment at least one year prior. This randomized controlled trial aims to assess if the online program can reduce fear of cancer recurrence and hopelessness while enhancing coping skills and psychosocial adjustment during survivorship. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one will receive a 6-week structured psychoeducation program delivered online through the website www.onkodestek.org combined with weekly live Zoom sessions lasting 30 to 45 minutes each, covering topics such as living with breast cancer, managing psychosocial challenges, improving quality of life, and fostering hope and meaning. The other group will receive standard care alone. After the study ends, those in the control group will have access to the psychoeducation platform. Throughout the study, participants will complete assessments at the start, immediately after the 6-week program, and again at a 2-month follow-up. These evaluations include measures of psychological well-being, fear of cancer recurrence, quality of life, and hopelessness using validated self-report tools. The study focuses on understanding the psychological benefits of web-based support during the post-treatment survivorship period for breast cancer survivors.
