Effectiveness of a Technology‐Based Psychosocial Empowerment Program for Children With Cancer and Their Parents in Home‐Based Care: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates a four-week, web-based psychosocial empowerment program for children aged 8–18 with cancer and their parents receiving home-based care. The study compares outcomes between an intervention group using the technology-based modules and a control group receiving standard care, measuring self-efficacy, anxiety, coping, problem-solving, and resilience. Results indicate that participants in the intervention group reported significantly improved psychosocial well-being compared to controls, with effects sustained at one-month follow-up.
