Abstract
Background: Undergoing surgery for renal cell carcinoma can potentially compromise the mental well-being and overall quality of life of survivors. Long-term psychological education interventions that are delivered remotely through various modalities have shown promise in enhancing the psychological well-being and quality of life of cancer patients. This study investigates the effect of remote multimodal psychoeducational interventions on mental well-being and quality of life of renal cell carcinoma survivors.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to compare patients receiving remote psychological interventions (exposure group) with those receiving standard care (control group). Following the interventions, various data sets including general demographic information, and assessments from the Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), the Brief Fatigue Inventory-Chinese version (BFI-C), the Distress Thermometer (DT), and the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) were gathered and analysed for comparison.
Results: This study included 116 renal cell carcinoma survivors, with 52 in the exposure group and 64 in the control group. Baseline characteristics were not significantly different between the two groups (p > 0.05). After the intervention, the exposure group had significantly lower scores than the control group on HAMA (14.63 vs. 16.66, p < 0.001), HAMD (13.63 vs. 16.36, p < 0.001), BFI-C (52.31 vs. 57.65, p < 0.001), and DT (3.94 vs. 4.98, p < 0.001). Additionally, the exposure group had significantly higher total score of EORTC QLQ-C30 (69.22 vs. 65.59, p < 0.001) than the control group.
Conclusions: Remote multimodal psychoeducational interventions demonstrate a notable impact in mitigating adverse emotions, exhaustion, and discomfort experienced by survivors of renal cell carcinoma. Such interventions should be actively promoted in clinical practice.
