Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this study is to evaluate the acceptability and engagement of a culturally tailored online peer-support program for Korean speaking breast cancer patients and survivors. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) Is the peer-support program acceptable and sustainable in terms of engagement between mentors and mentees over a 12-week period? 2) Does participation in the program improve quality of life, psychological well-being (including anxiety and depression), and perceived social support? Participants will include Korean speaking breast cancer survivors (mentors) and patients currently undergoing treatment (mentees). After enrollment and matching based on screening information, participants will engage in peer-support interactions through an online platform for 12 weeks. Surveys will be administered at baseline, mid-point, post-intervention, and optional 6-month follow-up to assess outcomes.
