Interventions
eConquerFear-HK
The key goals of the intervention are to: (i) teach strategies for controlling worry and excessive threat monitoring; (ii) modify underlying unhelpful MCQ beliefs about worry; (iii) develop appropriate monitoring and screening behaviours, (iv) encourage acceptance of the uncertainty brought about by a cancer diagnosis, and (v) clarify values and encourage engagement in values-based goal setting.
Basic Cancer Care
Basic Cancer Care serves as an active comparator and is not developed specifically to target fear of cancer recurrence through modifying participants' cognitive beliefs. Participants in this arm will receive 6 videos about relaxation, generic dietary and exercise knowledge.
