Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Mental health issues have become increasingly prominent in the treatment of cancer patients and have become an important factor affecting their outcome and quality of life. In recent years, a number of studies have revealed the psychological challenges faced by cancer patients, pointing out that psychological problems such as anxiety and depression are common among cancer patients, and that these problems not only diminish the patients' quality of life, but may also affect treatment adherence and treatment efficacy. Although traditional psychological support methods, such as face-to-face counselling, can alleviate patients ‘psychological pressure to a certain extent, their coverage and accessibility are limited by factors such as patients’ physical conditions, remote living places and inconvenient transportation. Therefore, how to innovate the service mode and expand the coverage of psychological support has become an urgent problem. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of distance learning technology in psychological support groups for cancer patients, with a view to providing new ideas and practical solutions for future mental health interventions.
