Coping strategies tailored to the management of fear of recurrence and adaptation for E‐health delivery: The FoRtitude intervention
Open accessAbstract
Fear of recurrence has been well documented among cancer survivors, yet there have been few publications on strategies for coping with this fear. This report describes 3 coping strategies tailored to the management of fear of recurrence and the delivery of these coping strategies through FoRtitude, a targeted e‐health intervention designed to teach breast cancer survivors coping strategies targeted at fear of recurrence with a Web‐ and text messaging–based approach.

e-Health interventions can be effective at lowering FCR among cancer survivors.
“there is also evidence from a range of interventions that e-Health interventions can be effective at lowering FCR among cancer survivors.”
From It is time to address fear of cancer recurrence in family caregivers: protocol for the feasibility and acceptability of a randomized pilot study of the online version of the Family Caregiver–Fear Of Recurrence Therapy (FC-FORT) (2024) · cites this paper as [35]
The Abstract says FoRtitude is an eHealth intervention designed to reduce fear of recurrence, but its randomized-trial results would be reported in the future. The Clinical Management of FoR section says no evidence-based psychosocial interventions for fear of recurrence had been published. The reported reductions came from clinicians’ experience with coping strategies, not evidence that eHealth delivery was effective. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
