Impacts and Testing of the "Multi-domains Active-living Program" in Operable Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Patients

Among bladder cancer, the majority of them (70%) are non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The survival time is even longer in NMIBC. Patients with NMIBC receive surgery or transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). However, patients with NMIBC need to receive a three-month repeatedly intrusive cystoscope from diagnosis for the first year. Furthermore, following each cystoscope, patients will receive 3 to 6 times bladder BCG (Bacille Calmette Guérin) or chemotherapy. These repeatedly intrusive cystoscopes, TURBT, and intensive bladder treatments might cause impacts on patients' life. The investigator aims to (1) construct a Multi-domains Active-living Program (MAP) with e-health enhanced intervention; and (2) compare the effects of the MAP with oncology case manager (OCM) care (experimental group) and OCM care only (control group) on the indicators and quality of life. Intervention study is a 12-month two-group randomized trial, including OCM care only (control), Vs. MAP+OCM program (experimental group). MAP will be constructed based on literature review and preliminary results. Main contents of MAP are to (a) cope multi-domain of distress, and (b) develop an active life style to handle their life after cancer, including effective coping, relaxation, regular physical activities, and balance nutrition. Four face-to face interventions will be delivered, including: day before hospital discharge post-operation, before the last weekly instillations of induction thera…
