简要总结
Background Ovarian cancer poses challenges for middle-aged and older patients, impacting physical and self-conceptual aspects. A research gap exists on the impact of online support groups (SPs) on identity synthesis and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) for these patients.
Objective To assess the feasibility and efficacy of an online SG in influencing recovery identity and HRQOL in middle-aged and older ovarian cancer patients (MDOCP).
Method A four-week randomized controlled trial, followed by a three-month evaluation, was conducted, employing a mobile online SG and an offline SG both grounded in The Social Identity Model of Identity Change. Recovery identity, HRQOL, and participant engagement were utilized to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of interventions.

结局指标
主要结局
Illness identity
时间窗: Data collection occurred at three time points: before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and at a three-month follow-up
The acceptance of illness identity was measured using the Illness Identity Questionnaire's acceptance sub-scale, consisting of 6 items (Oris et al., 2016).
Maintenance of identity
时间窗: Data collection occurred at three time points: before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and at a three-month follow-up
The maintenance of former social identities was measured using the Maintenance of Group Memberships sub-scale of Exeter Identity Transition Scales (Haslam et al., 2008), encompassing 4 items.
New identity
时间窗: Data collection occurred at three time points: before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and at a three-month follow-up
The new meaningful social identity was measured using the New Group Memberships sub-scale of the Exeter Identity Transition Scales, which includes 4 questions. Responses were rated on a scale from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating a higher level of acceptance of the identity.
次要结局
