Rehabilitation of Cancer Survivors in Denmark: A Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effect of a Multi-focused Psychosocial Rehabilitation Course
Worldwide, the number of cancer survivors is increasing. In the Danish population of 5.4
million people, more than 300 000 are cancer survivors. Given the range of physical,
psychological and social late effects of cancer and its primary treatment many survivors
need tailored rehabilitation interventions. This randomized study evaluates the effect of a
multi-focused, psychosocial 6-day residential rehabilitation course at the Dallund
Rehabilitation Centre in Denmark. We hypothesize that individuals in the intervention group
will experience better psychosocial well-being and more adaptive health behaviour changes as
compared to individuals in the control group.
