Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a developed psychosocial eHealth intervention on the proposed primary outcomes, health-related quality of life and symptom burden, among Hispanic breast cancer survivors. The intervention components include breast cancer knowledge, stress awareness and management, social support, and enhanced communication and intimacy skills. The intervention will be delivered via a Smartphone application over an 8-week period. Participants are randomized into either an intervention application (described above) or a control application (health information and health promotion strategies). Aside from using the Smartphone application for the recommended 8 weeks, participation in this study includes three assessments: baseline (at the beginning of the research study), 6-week follow-up, and 8-week follow-up.
