e-Health Intervention (Day-by-Day) for the Management of Fear of Progression in Women With Stage III or IV Gynecologic Cancer: A Pilot Study

Running, not enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Malignant Female Reproductive System Neoplasm, Stage III Cervical Cancer AJCC v8, Stage III Ovarian Cancer AJCC v8, Stage III Uterine Corpus Cancer AJCC v8, Stage III Vaginal Cancer AJCC v8, Stage III Vulvar Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IV Cervical Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IV Ovarian Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IV Uterine Corpus Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IV Vaginal Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IV Vulvar Cancer AJCC v8

In brief

This clinical trial studies how well an electronic (e)-health intervention (day-by-day) woks in managing fears or worries about cancer growing, spreading, or getting worse (progression) in patients with stage III or IV gynecologic cancer. Fear and worries about cancer progression or recurrence (coming back) are common concerns. This may contribute to concerns related to illness, worries, and uncertainty about the future. Day by Day is adapted from a program called "Conquer Fear" which was shown to benefit patients with early-stage cancer. Day-by-day intervention may help refocus patient thoughts and help patients learn skills to manage anxiety and fears.
