Effects of two types of social support and education on adaptation to early-stage breast cancer . A Roy adaptation model-based support and education intervention for women with early-stage breast cancer was tested in a three-group , three-phase randomized clinical trial of a sample of 125 women . The experimental group received 13 months of combined individual telephone and in-person group support and education , Control Group 1 received 13 months of telephone-only individual support and education , and Control Group 2 received one-time mailed educational information . The experimental group and Control Group 1 reported less mood disturbance at the end of all three phases , less loneliness at the end of Phases II and III , and a higher-quality relationship with a significant other at the end of Phase II than did Control Group 2 . No group differences were found for cancer-related worry or well-being . The findings suggest that individual telephone support may provide an effective alternative to in-person support groups . Further study of telephone interventions is recommended using ethnically and economically heterogeneous samples .
