Targeted eHealth Intervention to Reduce Fear of Recurrence Among Breast Cancer Survivors: The FoRtitude Trial
The FoRtitude trial aims to evaluate an eHealth intervention designed to teach breast cancer survivors strategies to manage anxiety about cancer recurrence.
The eHealth intervention includes educational content and interactive tools, designed to teach coping strategies and/or inert content, depending on the study participant's randomization assignment.
The FoRtitude study will examine whether three coping strategies (relaxation training, cognitive restructuring, worry practice) are more effective than general health-related content in reducing fear of cancer recurrence.

Подробное описание
The purpose of the FoRtitude trial is to develop and evaluate a targeted eHealth intervention designed to teach breast cancer survivors (BCS) coping strategies to manage fear about cancer recurrence (FoR). FoRtitude, a web-based program with interactive text messaging capabilities, was created to deliver a targeted intervention for BCS with moderate to severe FoR. FoRtitude consists of didactic content presented in written and video-based formats and interactive tools, designed to teach coping strategies. Commonly used cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) techniques were tailored to the management of FoR and included diaphragmatic breathing and relaxation, cognitive restructuring, and scheduled worry practice. Participants are encouraged to use the FoRtitude site several times per week over a period of 4 weeks. The investigators employed principles of user-centered design to create the FoRtitude website and incorporated feedback from 17 BCS to refine site content and improve FoRtitude usability.
After refining the FoRtitude site, the investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) to individually evaluate three coping strategies; each coping strategy will be compared to health management content. Inert content includes general health information and managing comorbid illnesses, information on general nutrition, and information on nutritional topics of interest to BCS. Half of the participants will be randomized to receive telecoaching, which included 3-4 telephone-based brief sessions with a motivational interviewer, aimed at improving adherence to use of the FoRtitude site. Participants will complete questionnaires at baseline, 4 weeks (immediately after completing the FoRtitude site) and at 8 weeks.
Study hypotheses:
- BCS randomized to Relaxation training will report a greater reduction in fear of cancer recurrence from pre-post intervention than BCS randomized to inert (health management) content
- BCS randomized to Cognitive restructuring will report a greater reduction in fear of cancer recurrence from pre-post intervention than BCS randomized to inert (health management) content
- BCS randomized to Scheduled Worry practice will report a greater reduction in fear of cancer recurrence from pre-post intervention than BCS randomized to inert (health management) content
- BCS randomized to receive Telecoaching will demonstrate higher adherence to using the FoRtitude site and will report a greater reduction in fear of cancer recurrence from pre-post intervention compared to BCS randomized to no Telecoaching
- BCS randomized to a higher number of coping strategies will report a greater reduction in fear of cancer recurrence from pre-post intervention than BCS randomized to receive all inert content or fewer coping strategies (dose-response effect)
