Participants were randomly assigned independently to each factor. Data were provided for full sample and separately by factor. Sample size for each factor totaled 196; therefore, sample size summed across rows exceed 196. FCRI = Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory; T0 = baseline; T1 = 4 weeks; T2 = 8 weeks.
Participants randomly assigned to telecoaching had a higher rate of completed week 4 and week 8 assessments.
These numbers indicate sample sizes at randomization, which are lower at T1 and T2 because of attrition.
FCRI total score does not include Coping and Reassurance subscale items. FCRI total score range = 0-120, with a higher score reflecting a higher level of fear of recurrence.
