Development and Evaluation of a Self-Management Model for Cancer Rehabilitation

Participants were primarily recruited from medical institutions, specifically targeting newly diagnosed patients with malignant tumors. They were randomly assigned to two different rehabilitation models using block randomization: the cancer self-help rehabilitation model or the conventional rehabilitation model. During the intervention period, trained oncology advanced practice nurses conducted weekly questionnaire surveys for enrolled patients. During the follow-up period, these surveys were conducted every four weeks. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected at baseline and at weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12 after the intervention began to test for biomarkers related to emotional distress.
