Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Cognitive deficits are frequently reported following cancer treatment and can significantly impact daily functioning. These cognitive impairments often persist for years after cancer treatment. This study aimed to examine several aspects of a newly developed digital intervention designed to address cognitive impairments. Specifically, it focused on: (1) evaluating the preliminary effects of the intervention, (2) identifying predictors of treatment response, (3) assessing the feasibility of both the intervention and the study design, (4) gathering participant feedback on the intervention, and (5) testing the applicability of the Norwegian version of the Working Memory Questionnaire within this patient group.
