ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how a technique called motivational interviewing can help women who have finished treatment for endometrial cancer. The goal is to see if this method can reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress and help women grow positively after their cancer experience. The trial will involve 66 women, who will be divided into two groups: one will receive the motivational interviewing sessions, while the other will not. Researchers will assess how effective these sessions are using simple questionnaires.

To be part of this study, women must be native Turkish speakers, have been diagnosed with endometrial cancer, and not be undergoing any active treatment like chemotherapy or radiation. Participants should also be comfortable using digital tools. The study will take place at Akdeniz University Hospital between January and August 2025. Women who join can expect to learn coping strategies and gain support as they navigate their feelings after cancer treatment.
