简要总结
This trial will pilot a psychosocial intervention called Conquer Fear Support (CFS) in patients with stage III-IV lung or gynecologic cancer who are experiencing fear of cancer progression. The intervention is adapted from a novel program called "Conquer Fear" which was developed by researchers in Australia. CFS may help in reducing worries, fears, and uncertainty in patients with advanced lung or gynecological cancer.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess the feasibility and acceptability of the CFS intervention in patients with advanced lung and gynecologic (GYN) cancer (stages III or IV) who have clinically significant levels of fear of cancer progression (FOP) or cancer-related distress.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess preliminary effects of the intervention on FOP, cancer-specific distress, anxiety, depression, overall symptom distress, metacognitions, and mindfulness.

研究组 & 干预措施
Supportive care (CFS)
Patients attend CFS psychosocial intervention consisting of 7 nurse-led sessions (session 1 in-person and sessions 2-7 via video conferencing) over 45 minutes each for 8 weeks. Patients also complete home practice assignments comprising attention training technique and mindfulness practice after each session.
Patients complete self-report questionnaires at baseline (T1), 8 weeks (T2) and 12 weeks (T3).

结局指标
主要结局
Feasibility of the Conquer Fear SUPPORT (CFS) intervention is assessed by tracking enrollment rate.
时间窗: Up to 9 months
Evaluate the enrollment (recruitment) rate over the study period. Feasibility will be deemed acceptable if at least 25 eligible participants are accrued within 9 months.
Feasibility of the Conquer Fear SUPPORT (CFS) intervention is assessed by tracking attrition.
时间窗: Up to week 12
Evaluate attrition (drop-out rate) over time for enrolled participants. Feasibility will be deemed acceptable if the percentage of patients who drop-out does not exceed 20% by week 8 of the intervention and 50% by week 12 of the intervention.
Feasibility of the Conquer Fear SUPPORT (CFS) intervention is assessed by tracking attendance.
时间窗: Up to week 12
Evaluate the percentage of sessions attended. Feasibility will be deemed acceptable if participants attend an average of 5 of the 7 scheduled sessions.
Number of Eligible Participants
时间窗: Up to 9 months
Enrollment rate will be deemed sufficient if at least 33 eligible patients are accrued within 9 months.
Attrition
时间窗: Up to Week 12
Feasibility of the Conquer Fear SUPPORT (CFS) intervention will be assessed by tracking attrition. Attrition is defined as the percentage of participants who withdraw from the study among enrolled participants who completed the baseline questionnaire (i.e., evaluable participants). Feasibility will be evaluated based on whether attrition remains within the prespecified study thresholds at Week 8 (T2) and Week 12 (T3).
Number of Sessions Attended
时间窗: Up to 12 weeks
Attendance was assessed as the number of intervention sessions attended by each participant. Seven intervention sessions were offered during the study period.
Percentage of Participants Who Reported Home Practice
时间窗: Up to 12 weeks
Home practice was assessed by participant self-report during the intervention period. The outcome reflects the percentage of participants who reported engaging in assigned home practice activities.
Percentage of Participants Who Completed All Assigned Home Practice
时间窗: Up to 12 weeks
Completion of assigned home practice was assessed by participant self-report during the intervention period. The outcome reflects the percentage of participants who reported completing all assigned home practice activities.
Percentage of Participants Who Reported Attention Training Practice for at Least One Week
时间窗: Up to 12 weeks
Attention training practice was assessed by participant self-report during the intervention period. The outcome reflects the percentage of participants who reported engaging in attention training practice for at least one week.
