Article Synopsis
- Cognitive impairment (CI) is a common challenge for cancer survivors, and this study investigates the use of digital Goal Management Training (GMT) compared to computerized cognitive training (CCT) to address this issue in cervical cancer survivors (CCS).
- The study involved 35 CCS, who were randomly assigned to either digital GMT or CCT, with both groups showing a high completion rate of 88% and reporting strong satisfaction with the interventions.
- Results indicated that both training methods led to improvements in attention, memory, and self-reported cognitive functioning, suggesting that digital GMT is a feasible option for enhancing cognitive health in cancer survivors while being low-cost and easy to implement.
Objective: Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is a major obstacle for cervical cancer survivors, preventing the return to their social life. This study assessed the prevalence of CRCI in cervical cancer survivors and studied the association of self-reported cognitive impairment with treatment regimen and the quality of life (QoL) domains depression, anxiety, and fatigue.
Methods: Six hundred twenty one cervical cancer survivors, treated with combined chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) (n = 458) or surgery only (n = 163) were invited in this cross-sectional study.
