Abstract

Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is a common and distressing condition among adolescents and young adults (AYAs). This study aims to investigate the efficacy of digital interventions, including distress screening-based information provision and smartphone problem-solving therapy, on common psychological distress, especially FCR, in AYA patients with cancer. Participants will be 224 AYA outpatients with cancer aged 15-39 years who will be randomly assigned to either an 8-week smartphone-based intervention or a waitlist control group. This intervention includes smartphone-based distress screening, information provision, and psychotherapy (problem-solving therapy). The primary endpoint will be the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory-Short Form score at week 8. This study will be conducted as a fully decentralized, randomized, and multicenter trial. The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Nagoya City University on 19 April 2024 (ID: 46-23-0005).
