About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether a nurse-led coping and support program is practical and acceptable for people with triple-negative breast cancer. The program aims to improve quality of life and reduce anxiety and fear that cancer will come back.

The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility and acceptability of a nurse-led, coping, and supportive care intervention for patients with triple-negative breast cancer. The intervention aims to improve psychosocial outcomes in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (e.g., quality of life (QOL), anxiety, fear of cancer recurrence (FCR)).

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
