Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
The primary outcome of this study is psychological distress measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
The prevalence of adjustment disorders among cancer (ex)patients has been reported to be high. Although a large amount of studies have shown evidence for the effectiveness of psychological interventions targeting cancer patients, so far, no study focused on the (cost-)effectiveness of psychological interventions targeting cancer patients with an adjustment disorder. In this study, therefore, a psychological intervention tailored to the individual needs and wishes of the patient will be investigated.
Doel van het onderzoek
It is hypothesized that this tailored intervention is effective in cancer patients with an adjustment disorder compared to a waitlist control group, and potentially cost-saving.
Onderzoeksopzet
Patient reported outcome measures will be assessed at baseline (before randomization), and 3 and 6 months after randomization.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
According to the national guideline “Adjustment Disorder”, the psychological intervention consists of three modules: a module for diagnosis and psycho-education (4 sessions, for all patients) and two additional modules comprising of various types of psychological interventions (maximum of 6 sessions per module, tailored to the individual patient). The three modules are provided as a continuum. After each module there will be assessed if a following module is needed.
Patients in the control group are allowed to receive care-as-usual and receive the tailored psychological intervention after a waitlist period of 6 months.
