Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Oncology
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Cancer diagnosis causes significant psychological distress.
  • Many cancer patients lack adequate psychological support.
  • Internet interventions offer a potential solution to bridge this support gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and efficacy of a Web-based stress management program called STREAM (Stress-Aktiv-Mindern).
  • To evaluate STREAM's impact on quality of life and psychological distress in newly diagnosed cancer patients.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 129 newly diagnosed cancer patients.
  • Patients were assigned to either a therapist-guided Web-based intervention or a wait-list control group.
  • Quality of life (using Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue) and distress (Distress Thermometer) were primary endpoints.

Main Results:

  • The Web-based intervention group showed significantly higher quality of life (P = .007).
  • Distress levels were significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group (P = .03).
  • Adherence was high (80.0% used ≥ six modules), with minimal therapist time required per patient.

Conclusions:

  • The STREAM program is a feasible and effective Web-based intervention for managing stress in cancer patients.
  • It successfully improves quality of life and reduces distress, addressing a critical need for psychological support.
