Summary

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two internet-based therapy approaches in improving psychological well-being and reducing distress among patients diagnosed with breast cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: a 7-week internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (iCBT) program or a 3-session internet-based Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Flash Technique (iEMDR-FT) within a week. Both interventions will be delivered online in a group format under the guidance of experienced therapists.

Participants' mental health status-including anxiety, depression, traumatic stress, fear of cancer recurrence, and overall quality of life-will be assessed before the intervention, immediately after completion, and again at a 3-month follow-up. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights into how digital psychotherapy methods can help breast cancer patients cope with emotional challenges during their treatment. The findings will also inform the development of future online psychosocial support models in oncology.
