Internet-based Support in Cancer Rehabilitation

Internet-based Support in the Rehabilitation of Danish Cancer Survivors

This 2-arm randomized trial assessed the incremental effect of providing a lecture on Internet use followed by participation in an Internet-based peer support group following a week-long rehabilitation program, over and above any possible general effect of participation in the rehabilitation program.

Primary outcome measures are adjustment to cancer and mood disturbance.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Cancer survivors who were randomized for or self-selected to a rehabilitation course at the Dallund Rehabilitation Centre were included in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Rehabilitation course weeks in which cancer survivors over 50 years of age were targeted specifically were excluded.
