Development and Preliminary Psychometric Evaluation of the ACRIS-CS: A Theory-Based Measure of Prospective Acceptability of Cognitive Rehabilitation in Cancer Survivors.

Background/Objectives: Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is a prevalent survivorship concern associated with functional limitations and reduced quality of life. Although cognitive rehabilitation shows beneficial effects, implementation depends not only on efficacy but also on survivors' anticipated willingness to engage. No psychometrically validated instrument currently exists to assess prospective acceptability of cognitive rehabilitation among cancer survivors. This study aimed to: (1) develop the Acceptability of Cognitive Rehabilitation Interventions Survey-Cancer Survivors (ACRI

Co-research in the development of AI and digital health tools for cancer management and care: a systematic review.

BackgroundParticipatory approaches (including co-research, co-design, Patient and Public Involvement [PPI], and Participatory Action Research [PAR]) are increasingly being incorporated into digital health innovation. However, their application in cancer-related digital and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool lifecycle remains insufficiently synthesised, limiting understanding of how participatory approaches influence ethical outcomes, trust, and the real-world implementation of these technologies. This review moves beyond documenting participatory approaches to critically examine how far partici

Secondary outcomes included physical symptom burden (fatigue and pain), functioning domains, depre

Video education about side effects of chemotherapy and immunotherapy and its impact on the anxiety, depression, and distress level of cancer patients.

BackgroundPatients diagnosed with cancer are at higher risk of anxiety, depression, and overall distress. These mood disturbances are risk factors for non-adherence to cancer treatment, increased length of stay during hospital admissions, increased number of visits to the emergency department, and also impact survival. Although paper handouts about the potential side effects are widely used in the oncology practice studies have shown that digital educational material is known to work better when compared to traditional methods. However, the impact of video education on anxiety, depression, and

The need for information among patients with hematological malignancies: Psychometric analyses of the 62-item Hematology Information Needs Questionnaire (HINQ-62).

Are the Post-COVID-19 Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Symptoms Justified by the Effects of COVID-19 on Brain Structure? A Systematic Review.

COVID-19 affects brain function, as deduced by the "brain fog" that is often encountered in COVID-19 patients and some cognitive impairment that is observed in many a patient in the post-COVID-19 period. Approximately one-third of patients, even when they have recovered from the acute somatic disease, continue to show posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. We hypothesized that the persistent changes induced by COVID-19 on brain structure would overlap with those associated with PTSD. We performed a thorough PubMed search on 25 April 2023 using the following strategy: ((posttraumatic OR

INPART - a psycho-oncological intervention for partners of patients with haemato-oncological disease - study protocol.

BackgroundSuffering from cancer confronts both the patient and their partner with a number of psychosocial challenges in various aspects of their life. These challenges may differentially impact on quality of life, coping ability and compliance to treatment. This especially holds true for haemato-oncological diseases. To date, psychological interventions have predominantly been developed for oncological patients however specific interventions for partners of haemato-oncological patients are rare. In this study we aim to conduct a psycho-oncological group-intervention for partners of patients w

Barriers to mental health service use among hematopoietic SCT survivors.

This study examined barriers to mental health service use and the demographic, medical and psychosocial correlates of these barriers among hematopoietic SCT (HSCT) survivors.
