The relationship between quality of life and coping strategies of children with EB and their parents
CONCLUSION: Children who are able to accept the disease or distance themselves from it appear to be better off in contrast to those who tend to engage in the cognitive-palliative strategies and expressing emotional reactions. Parents seem to be better off when they are able to use avoidance in contrast to those who tend to show emotional reactions. Further research is needed to substantiate these findings.

Psychological outcomes, knowledge and preferences of pregnant women on first-trimester screening for fetal structural abnormalities: A prospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: The 13-week scan did not negatively impact the psychological well-being of pregnant women. The small number of women with screen-positive results temporarily experienced higher anxiety after the scan but, in false-positive cases, anxiety levels normalized again when the abnormality was not confirmed at follow-up scans. Finally, most pregnant women have moderate-to-high levels of knowledge and strongly prefer early screening for fetal structural abnormalities. Continue reading

Recruiting participants for an international mHealth study via Facebook Ads: Experiences from the Untire App RCT.
Internet Interv. 2021 Mar;23:100362
Authors: Spahrkäs SS, Looijmans A, Sanderman R, Hagedoorn M
Abstract
Introduction: Social media recruitment via Facebook Ads seems to be a promising method for large-scale international trials examining the effectiveness of mHealth interventions. However, little is known about this method in terms of strategy, reach, and costs in the context of psycho-oncology. This paper presents the results of the recruitment strategy that was applied in the Untire app study and shows how many participants could be reached using advertisements (i.e., Ads) on Facebook, who participated, and what it cost.
Method: The Untire app study is a randomized controlled trial targeted at cancer patients and survivors across four English-speaking countries (i.e., Australia, Canada, the U.K., and the U.S.A.). Reach was assessed by the number of people who were shown the Ads, who clicked on the Ads, and completed study assessments. Demographic characteristics were gathered from Facebook Ads Manager and from online study assessments to describe who was reached. Costs were assessed by the budget spent and the cost per click for Ads, for reaching the study’s landing page, and for completing study assessments. To conduct a powered RCT, we needed 164 12-weeks assessments in both the intervention and the control group.
Results: From March till October 2018, we used 76 Ads, which were presented to 1.2 million people. 37.376 persons clicked on the study link in the Ads, resulting in 755 baseline completers. Most participants were female (92%), middle-aged (55.5 ± 9.79), and came from the U.K. (72%). The total Facebook advertisement costs from March till October 2018 were €17 k, resulting in an average cost of €0.45 per click on the Ads, €5.55 on average for a person reaching the study’s landing page, and €14.89 on average per eligible participant. The costs for every baseline and 12-weeks completer were €22.42 and €47.69, respectively.
Discussion: Reaching participants for international mHealth studies in psycho-oncology via Facebook Ads has potential but is costly. The key to reducing costs lies in constant optimization and testing of Ads and refinement of target audience characteristics.

ICBT program for improving informal caregiver well-being: A qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: Most of the informal caregivers were found to be satisfied with the program’s format and materials as well as the communication with the therapist via a message function in the program. Some suggestions were made regarding implementation of the live support option. Also, suggestions regarding possibility for tailoring the program’s content. Lastly, several personal and situational factors were identified as important in affecting informal caregiver well-being. We conclude that ICBT… Continue reading

Moderators of the effect of psychosocial interventions on fatigue in women with breast cancer and men with prostate cancer: Individual patient data meta-analyses
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings did not provide evidence that any selected demographic or clinical characteristic, or baseline levels of fatigue or pain, moderated effects of psychosocial interventions on fatigue. A specific focus on decreasing fatigue seems beneficial for patients with breast cancer with clinically relevant fatigue. Continue reading
