CBT on Fatigue in Survivors of Hodgkin Lymphoma

"The internet-based CBT postcancer fatigue intervention includes two face-to-face sessions with their therapist and eight web-based treatment modules, each approximately 45 minutes in length, delivered over 6 months.~The intervention will be specifically tailored to the individual needs of each patient: The CBT model of cancer-related fatigue distinguishes six perpetuating factors: 1) insufficient processing of being diagnosed with HL and being treated for it; 2) excessive fear of disease recurrence; 3) inactivity or a dysregulated (physical) activity pattern; 4) dysfunctional fatigue-related beliefs; 5) dysregulated sleep-wake pattern and 6) lack of social support. For each of these six cognitive-behavioural factors that can perpetuate fatigue a treatment module has been developed."
