The Development and Effectiveness of E-health Videos in Improving Mental Help-seeking Intention and Behaviour Among Breast Cancer Patients
Objectives: Primary Goal: To measure any changes in patients' intentions and actions to seek mental health support before and after using e-health interventions. Secondary Goals: To explore how these interventions impact mental health literacy, reduce self-stigma, and identify barriers and facilitators to seeking help. Comparison: The study will compare outcomes for patients using e-health tools against those receiving traditional care without digital interventions. Expected Outcomes: Researchers anticipate that e-health interventions will improve mental health help-seeking behaviours, enhance understanding of mental health issues, and reduce the stigma associated with seeking support. Significance: This study could demonstrate the potential of digital health tools to support mental well-being among breast cancer patients, providing new ways to access care and overcome traditional barriers to seeking mental health support.
