Young adults (aged 19–40) reporting sexual dysfunction were drawn from a population-based national cohort of childhood cancer survivors and randomized to either an intervention group (IG, <em>n</em> = 142) or a wait-list control group (CG, <em>n</em> = 136). The primary outcome was ‘Satisfaction with sex life’ assessed by the PROMIS® SexFS v 2.0. Secondary outcomes included other SexFS domains, body image (BIS), emotional distress (HADS), health-related quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30), and sex-related self-efficacy. Surveys were completed at baseline (T0), directly after the intervention (T1), and three months later (T2). The effects of the intervention were tested using <em>t</em>-test and linear mixed models, including intention-to-treat (ITT) and subgroups analysis. Adherence was based on log data extracted from the website system. The intervention included an open-ended question about perceived sexual problems.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>No effect of the intervention was found in the primary outcome. Regarding secondary outcomes, the IG reported less vaginal dryness (Lubrication subscale) than the CG at T1 (<em>p</em> = 0.048) and T2 (<em>p</em> = 0.023). Furthermore, at T1, the IG reported less emotional distress than the CG (<em>p</em> = 0.047). Subgroup analyses showed that those with greater sexual problems at T0 improved over time (T1 and T2), regardless of group allocation.

All interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed independently by two researchers. Data were analysed using a thematic analysis.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>The analysis identified four themes: (1) Experiencing a better understanding of the relationship between own physical and mental health; (2) Importance of the physiotherapist's active involvement in biopsychosocial blended care, which describes the crucial role of physiotherapists in supporting participants in this; (3) Appreciation of digital health, to better understand persistent pain and make meaningful lifestyle changes; and (4) Trials and triumphs, revealing gains such as better coping, but also challenges with implementation of changes into long-term routines.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Participants of the blended intervention experienced positive changes in thoughts and behaviours, which highlights the feasibility and acceptability of the blended intervention as a more holistic treatment within pain management. The differences in personal preferences for receiving psychologically-informed digital health poses challenges for implementation of blended biopsychosocial care in evidence-based practice.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48615,"journal":{"name":"Internet Interventions-The Application of Information Technology in Mental and Behavioural Health","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100731"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214782924000241/pdfft?md5=c53ab07cb64452cbcda6f7876e394267&pid=1-s2.0-S2214782924000241-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140031058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
