A new cognitive-behavioral intervention delivered via DVD was found acceptable for managing hot flashes. While minor improvements were noted, the intervention requires refinement for future large-scale studies.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology Nursing
  • Symptom Management
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Hot flashes are a common and distressing symptom for cancer survivors.
  • Current treatments for hot flashes have limitations and side effects.
  • There is a need for accessible and effective non-pharmacological interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To pilot test the acceptability of a DVD-based cognitive-behavioral intervention for hot flashes.
  • To estimate the preliminary efficacy of this novel intervention in reducing hot flash severity and impact.

Main Methods:

  • A nonrandomized pretest-post-test design was employed with 40 participants from outpatient cancer clinics.
  • Participants engaged with a cognitive-behavioral intervention delivered via DVD.

  • Data were collected using interviews, questionnaires, objective hot flash monitoring, and actigraphy.

    • Main Results:

    • The DVD delivery method was deemed feasible and acceptable by participants.
    • Participants reported some challenges in applying the intervention but noted potential benefits.
    • Statistically significant, though minor, reductions were observed in hot flash severity, bother, mood, and daily activity disruption.

    Conclusions:

    • The DVD platform is an acceptable method for delivering a cognitive-behavioral hot flash intervention.
    • The intervention shows promise but requires modification and further development before larger trials.
    • Cognitive-behavioral approaches may serve as valuable adjuncts or alternatives to existing hot flash treatments.
