Psychoeducation for Uveal Melanoma

Get Involved

Study Purpose

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.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

Additional Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. 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:

I. 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.
