Brief Summary

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

The study focuses on post-traumatic growth (positive changes linked to appreciation of life, personal strengths, social relationships...) in the context of different types of cancer and with a longitudinal approach to the care pathway. The aim of the study is to better understand whether psychological variables (emotional competence, psychological flexibility, psychological distress) and patients' care satisfaction, assessed at the start of the cancer treatment pathway, can influence their post-traumatic growth at the end of the chemotherapy protocol and 6 months later.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Interviews with a psychologist/psychiatrist

Implementation of an interview with a psychologist or psychiatrist following a telephone conversation with patients with no psychological follow-up and a high HADS score (≥11), at all stages of the study (start of chemotherapy T1, end of chemotherapy T2, 6 months after the end of chemotherapy).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Interviews with a psychologist/psychiatrist

Intervention Type OTHER

All patients with a high score (≥11) on the HADS anxiety and/or depressive symptoms scale and who are not already receiving known psychological treatment or treatment mentioned in the file will be contacted by telephone by the investigator or a qualified person designated by him/her in order to conduct a telephone interview with the patient and refer him/her to a psychologist or psychiatrist if necessary. The number and percentage of consultations with a psychologist or psychiatrist following this telephone interview will be calculated in order to highlight the benefits of such a practice (HADS assessment + telephone interview with +/- referral) for earlier and easier referral. Depending on the number of patients contacted, consideration may be given to testing the effect of this approach on post-traumatic development.
