The Efficacy of a Brief Oncologist-delivered Intervention for Fear of Cancer Recurrence: A Cluster-randomized Controlled Trial
The investigators will test a novel Clinician-led Intervention to address Fear of cancer Recurrence in cancer survivors (CIFeR), by 1) adapting the original Australian intervention manual to the Danish oncology context (CIFeR-DK), and 2) developing a brief e-learning program to train oncologists. The investigators will then 3) compare CIFeR-DK with an active control condition in a cluster-randomized controlled trial with 24 oncologists (the cluster unit) treating a minimum of 300 patients with breast, ovarian, lung and prostate cancer at Danish Oncology Departments at four hospitals in Aarhus, Vejle, Aalborg, and Copenhagen, and 4) explore fidelity, acceptability, feasibility, and perceived barriers and facilitators to use the intervention in routine follow-up care.
