This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of an online cognitive behavioral therapy program for women facing breast cancer surgery.
Patients were randomly assigned to an online CBT program or a basic health education program, each with five sessions and three video calls.
Feasibility was measured through recruitment, retention rates, attendance, and treatment fidelity.
Acceptability was evaluated using forms completed by patients and therapists.
Approximately 40% of eligible patients participated, and most in the CBT group completed all sessions.
Both groups showed reductions in anxiety and pain worries post-intervention.
The CBT program did not provide additional benefits over the health education program in reducing anxiety or pain concerns.
