Measurements.

Outcome and variable Time pointa Description
Primary outcomes

Feasibility


Attrition T2
  • Attrition is measured by the number of patients and caregivers who drop out before completing the intervention. We will consider the intervention to have low attrition if >80% dyads remain enrolled.



Adherence T2
  • Adherence is measured by the number of modules completed for dyads. It is determined by high adherence if dyads complete >80% of the modules.


Acceptability


Satisfaction T2
  • Participant satisfaction with CRCweb is assessed by the 8-item Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (Cronbach α=.93; 8-item; 4-point Likert) among patients and caregivers at the end of the intervention.

Secondary outcomesb

Intervention effect


Psychoneurological symptoms T1, T2
  • Fatigue: 20-item Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory. A cutoff score of ≥43.5 indicates moderate-to-severe fatigue.

  • Depression: 8-item Patient Health Questionnaire. A cutoff score of ≥10 indicates clinically significant depression.

  • Anxiety: Spielberger State Anxiety Inventories. A cutoff score of >32.2 indicates high levels of state anxiety.

  • Sleep disturbance: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). PSQI score of ≥5 indicates a significant level of sleep disturbance.

  • Cognitive dysfunction: Attentional Function Index (AFI). AFI score of <5 indicates a significant level of cognitive dysfunction.

  • Pain: Brief Pain Inventory. A cutoff score of ≥4 indicates moderate to severe pain.



Quality of life T1, T2
  • The Short Form-12 consists of 12 questions about physical and mental health as well as overall health status. It is scored into 2 components: physical component score (PCS) and mental component score (MCS). Higher PCS and MCS scores indicate a better quality of life.
