Development and evaluation of the efficacy of a web-based education program among cancer patients undergoing treatment with systemic chemotherapy: a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: The study aimed to develop a web-based education program among cancer patients undergoing treatment with systemic chemotherapy and to evaluate the efficacy of the program on symptom control, quality of life, self-efficacy, and depression.

Methods: A web-based education program was prepared in line with patient needs, evidence-based guidelines, and expert opinions and tested with 10 cancer patients. The single-blind, randomized controlled study was conducted at a medical oncology unit of a university hospital.

Effects of Chronic Care Model-based interventions on self-management, quality of life and patient satisfaction in patients with ischemic stroke: A single-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Aim: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Chronic Care Model (CCM)-based interventions on primary outcomes (self-efficacy, quality of life/QoL, patient satisfaction) and secondary outcomes (activities of daily living/ADL, metabolic control variables, stroke knowledge level, healthy eating habits, physical activity, taking regular medication, measuring blood pressure regularly, living in harmony with the disease, outcomes regarding telephone interviews) in patients with ischemic stroke.

Method: The intervention group (IG) received a 12-week StrokeCARE intervention protocol based on the four components of the CCM. The control group (CG) received only routine patient care.
