Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Brief Summary This study evaluates the effectiveness of a structured eHealth-based educational and support intervention in improving self-management practices and psychological coping behaviors among adult cancer patients. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with study and control groups, the intervention integrates online education, interactive sessions, and digital communication platforms to enhance symptom management, emotional regulation, and adaptive coping strategies. The findings aim to inform scalable digital health solutions in oncology care.
