Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: CBT (face to face)
Self-limited cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) delivered via 5 weekly sessions, face-face Up to one year after completion of treatment, patients with body image disturbance (BID) as determined by a Body Image Scale (BIS) score > 5 will undergo time-limited CBT consisting of 5 weekly sessions. Each session will be guided by the HNC BID module that we develop but customized to each patient's specific concerns. Each session will last ~60 minutes and be conducted one-one with a psychologist. Patients will complete questionnaires prior to CBT and 1 and 3 months after CBT. |

Experimental: CBT (telemedicine)
Self-limited cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) delivered via 5 weekly sessions, via tablet-based telemedicine platform Up to one year after completion of treatment, patients with body image disturbance (BID) as determined by a Body Image Scale (BIS) score > 5 will undergo time-limited CBT consisting of 5 weekly sessions. Each session will be guided by the HNC BID module that we develop but customized to each patient's specific concerns. Each session will last ~60 minutes and be conducted one-one with a psychologist. Patients will complete questionnaires prior to CBT and 1 and 3 months after CBT. To overcome the expected travel distance-related barrier to receipt of CBT, patients will receive the intervention via tablet-based telemedicine delivery platform |

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Body Image Disturbance
Time Frame: Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention
|
Change in body image disturbance will be measured using Body Image Scale (BIS) scores from before and 3 months after intervention.
The BIS has been validated in oncology patients and is the most widely used scale for BID in oncology.
It is a 10-item measure that is scored on a 4-point Likert scale; higher scores indicate greater body image dissatisfaction.
It addresses the affective, cognitive, and emotional aspects of body image.
There are no subscales.

Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Body Image Investment
Time Frame: Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention.
|
Body image investment (i.e. the importance and influence of appearance) will be measured using the Appearance Schemas Inventory-Revised (ASI-R).
This 20-item measure is scored using a 5-point Likert scale with greater scores indicating greater body image investment.
There are no subscales.
|
Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention.
|
Change in Body Image Coping Strategies
Time Frame: Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention
|
Change in Body Image Coping strategies will be measured using the Body Image Coping Strategies Inventory (BICSI), a validated measure used to assess cognitive and behavioral responses to manage threats to body image.
The subscales are "Appearance Fixing" (10 specific items on the scale), "Avoidance" (8 specific items on the scale), and "Positive Rational Acceptance" (11 items on the scale).
Each subscale score is calculated as the mean of the items within that subscale.
|
Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention
|
Change in Quality of Life
Time Frame: Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention
|
We will employ the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ C30/H&N35 module to evaluate quality of life (QOL).
The EORTC quality of life questionnaire (QLQ) is an integrated system for assessing the health-related quality of life (QOL) of cancer patients participating in international clinical trials.

Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention
|
Other Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Shame and Stigma
Time Frame: Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention
|
Change in shame and stigma will be measured using the Shame and Stigma Scale, a 20-item, validated tool that measures shame with appearance, stigma, regret, and social/speech concerns in patients with HNC.
|
Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention
|
Change in Depression and Anxiety
Time Frame: Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention
|
Change in Depression and Anxiety will be measured using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measure Information System (PROMIS), a validated questionnaire developed by the NIH for evaluating health-related quality of life.
|
Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention
|
Change in Social Roles and Isolation
Time Frame: Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention
|
Social roles and isolation will be assessed by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measure Information System (PROMIS) measures, a validated questionnaire developed by the NIH for evaluating health-related quality of life.
|
Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention
|
Change in Head and Neck Performance Status and Function
Time Frame: Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention
|
This outcome will be measured by the Performance Status Scale for Head & Neck Cancer, which assesses performance in domains of eating, speech, and diet.
|
Prior to intervention until 3 months after completion of intervention
|
Effectiveness of CBT and Telemedicine Utilization Patterns
Time Frame: One month after completion of study intervention
|
We will collect data from patients to understand why they chose face-face CBT versus telemedicine.
|
One month after completion of study intervention
|
Qualitative Assessment of Experience with BID and CBT
Time Frame: One month after completion of study intervention
|
To better understand patient experiences with BID not captured in the questionnaires as well as their experiences with CBT, we will perform semi-structured interviews.
Participants will be asked to 1) discuss their preferences about the timing, format and content of the CBT sessions 2) describe their program experiences and offer recommendations to improve delivery, and 3) and assess feasibility and acceptability of the intervention.
This mixed methods approach will allow for an in-depth exploration of patient experiences, help refine the study intervention, and inform intervention implementation for future studies.
