Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Study design A 2-arm, assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial will be conducted. The design will follow the Standard Protocol Items Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT)

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Aim: To assess the effect of MCP on anxiety, depression and QoL of BGC patients receiving chemotherapy.

Objectives

* To assess the effect of MCP on the anxiety of BGC patients receiving chemotherapy.
* To assess the effect of MCP on depression of BGC patients receiving chemotherapy.
* To assess the effect of MCP on QoL and patients' satisfaction of BGC patients receiving chemotherapy.
* To determine whether stress level, coping and coping styles mediate the intervention effect on anxiety, depression and QoL.

Hypothesis

* The participants receiving MCP will have a significantly lower level of anxiety compared to the control group.
* The participants receiving MCP will have a significantly lower level of depression compared to the control group.
* The participants receiving MCP will have significantly higher QoL scores and levels of satisfaction with care service compared to the control group.
* Stress level, coping will mediate the intervention on target outcomes.
