- Detailed Description
The main objective of the present study is to evaluate the effects of the Revie ⊕ intervention on the self-esteem of patients diagnosed with an advanced cancer. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the effects of the Revie ⊕ intervention on spiritual well-being, personal development, life satisfaction, and the perception of the interaction with the nurses. A pragmatic, two-arm parallel-group, waitlist randomized controlled trial (WLRCT) is conducted in which participants are randomized into (i) intervention, or (ii) waitlist control groups. The intervention group (IG) receives the Revie ⊕ intervention early on and the control group (CG) the same intervention but later on (i.e., after eight weeks).This monocentric study takes place in the oncology department of the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG) at two outpatient units (planned n=102; 51 per group).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Self-esteem Baseline, change from Baseline at 2 months, change from Baseline at 4 months Self-esteem will be measured by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE, 10 items) developed in 1965 (French version).
Minimum value = 1 Maximum value = 4. A score above 30 points corresponds to a high level of self-esteem, between 20 and 30 points indicates a moderate self-esteem, and a score of less than 20 points reflects a low self-esteem.
- Secondary Outcome Measures

A high score means a high level of development.
Spiritual well-being Baseline, change from Baseline at 2 months, change from Baseline at 4 months Spiritual well-being will be measured by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-spiritual well-being (FACIT-Sp).
Minimum value = 0 Maximum value = 4. The higher the score, the better the spiritual well-being.Satisfaction with life Baseline, change from Baseline at 2 months, change from Baseline at 4 months Satisfaction with life will be measured with the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) instrument developed by Pavot and Diener in 1985.

A high score means a high level of satisfaction with life.The patient's perception of their interaction with the nurse Baseline, change from Baseline at 2 months, change from Baseline at 4 months The Nurse-Patient-Interaction Scale (NPIS) questionnaire developed by Haugan in 2012 will be used to evaluate the patient's perception of their interaction with the nurse Minimum value = 1 Maximum value = 10.
