Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Resilience scale

    The questionnaire includes 25 items to assess levels of resilience

    Change from baseline resilience at 12 months

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Symptom Severity Scale

    Change from baseline symptom at 12 months

  • Fatigue Symptom Inventory

    Change from baseline fatigue at 12 months

  • Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale

    Change from baseline depressive symptoms at 12 months

  • Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory-Short Form

    Change from baseline fear of cancer recurrence at 12 months

  • Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Spiritual Well-Being Scale

    Change from baseline spiritual well-being at 12 months

Study Arms (2)

Resilience model-based cancer prehabilitation program plus standard care

EXPERIMENTAL

12-week care plan with 5 in-person and 12 remote sessions, including both physical and psychological components.

Behavioral: Resilience model-based total care plan

Control

OTHER

standard care

Behavioral: Standard Care (in control arm)

Interventions

12-week care plan with 5 times face-to-face intervention and weekly phone call follow-up to increase the protective factors (positive thinking. problem-solving, finding meaning, and social connection) and decrease the risk factors (disease-related distress and defense coping) of resilience
