Development and Evaluation of a Self-Management Model for Cancer Rehabilitation

The intervention measures followed the principles and processes of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Three intervention sessions were conducted over a period of eight weeks. The first session lasted 90 minutes, while the subsequent sessions (in weeks 4 and 8) lasted 45 minutes each and were conducted face-to-face by the therapist.

The control group, which follows the conventional rehabilitation model, operates under the current standard of cancer treatment and follow-up. In this model, oncology healthcare professionals provide recommendations based on the specific circumstances of the patients. However, the choice of the rehabilitation model is primarily decided by the patients themselves, aligning with current clinical practice.
