Psychoeducation for Uveal Melanoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief 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.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- 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:
- 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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in illness perceptions of disease control [From baseline to day 77]
Will be assessed using the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) and will be examined across treatment and control conditions using multilevel models.
- Change in illness perceptions of chronicity [From baseline to day 77]
Will be assessed using the BIPQ will be examined across treatment and control conditions using multilevel models.
- Change in illness perceptions of coherence [From baseline to day 77]
Will be assessed using the BIPQ will be examined across treatment and control conditions using multilevel models.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Domains of mental health: Anxiety [From baseline to day 77]
Will be assessed by multilevel models of anxiety symptoms as functions of treatment condition (i.e., group assignment). Anxiety symptoms will be assessed at all assessment points with the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7.
- Domains of mental health: Depression [From baseline to day 77]
Will be assessed by multilevel models of depression symptoms as functions of treatment condition (i.e., group assignment). Depressive symptoms will be assessed at all assessment points with the well-validated 20-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale.
