Fear of Cancer Progression: Findings From Case Studies and a Nurse-Led Intervention.

This article describes a nurse-led intervention for managing FOP in two patients with advanced gynecologic cancer. The intervention teaches skills for managing worry, challenging unhelpful beliefs, and modifying unhelpful coping behaviors. METHODS: Preliminary findings from the two case studies are presented, including a comparison of post-treatment FOP scores to baseline scores. FINDINGS: The participants reported feeling more focused, less overwhelmed, and more in control of their worries. Both participants achieved statistically reliable improvements in FOP scores.
