Abstract

Objectives: To demonstrate feasibility of the MindCap mobile, digital application for objective and repeated assessment of cognitive function in cancer survivors and assess its sensitivity to cognitive improvement.

Sample & setting: 57 adults with stage I-III solid tumors or lymphoma who reported cognitive issues six months to five years postchemotherapy.

Methods & variables: Participants completed three phases of MindCap testing sessions over 14 weeks. Pre-/postintervention data were collected for time and number of MindCap sessions completed for each phase, adherence to required testing frequency, participant satisfaction, self-report, and MindCap metrics for cognitive domain-specific performance (executive function, attention, memory, verbal ability, visual-spatial ability, and psychomotor function).

Results: Feasibility was demonstrated for recruitment and adherence to MindCap use. Self-report and MindCap metrics correlated positively. MindCap performance metrics were sensitive to improvements in multiple cognitive domains. Post facto analyses indicated a potential MindCap dose effect for cognitive function improvement.

Implications for nursing: Future research comparing MindCap metrics to standard neurocognitive testing and investigation for potential dose effect are warranted.

一种用于客观评估癌症幸存者认知功能的移动、数字应用程序的研究。

目的：论证MindCap移动、数字化应用于癌症幸存者认知功能客观、重复评估的可行性，并评估其对认知改善的敏感性。样本和环境：57名成人I-III期实体瘤或淋巴瘤患者在化疗后6个月至5年报告认知问题。方法和变量：参与者在14周内完成了三个阶段的MindCap测试。收集干预前/干预后的数据，包括每个阶段完成MindCap会话的时间和次数、遵守要求的测试频率、参与者满意度、自我报告和认知领域特定表现（执行功能、注意力、记忆、语言能力、视觉空间能力和精神运动功能）的MindCap指标。结果：证实了招募和坚持使用MindCap的可行性。自我报告和MindCap指标正相关。MindCap绩效指标对多个认知领域的改善很敏感。事后分析表明，MindCap对认知功能改善有潜在的剂量效应。对护理的启示：未来的研究将MindCap指标与标准神经认知测试进行比较，并对潜在剂量效应进行调查。
