Description

Summary

This clinical trial evaluates a video-based psychoeducational intervention for patients with uveal melanoma. Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare intraocular cancer. UM patients face an uncertain course of survivorship in terms of their visual acuity, treatment-related side effects, and risk for eventual metastasis of the cancer. Learning about patients' thoughts and reactions to informational resources may better support patients during ocular melanoma survivorship.

Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To assess the efficacy of the psychoeducation intervention (compared to the control condition) in modifying illness perceptions of disease control, chronicity, and coherence (i.e., to become less threatening) over the course of the follow-up period.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To assess the efficacy of the psychoeducation intervention (compared to the control condition) in reducing the degree of participant's depressive and anxiety symptoms over the course of the follow-up period.

OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Participants watch two fifteen-minute educational videos and receive a mental health resource information sheet on study.

ARM II: Patients receive enhanced treatment as usual and receive a mental health resource information sheet on study.
