Cancer patients will be recruited from the Taipei Cancer Center of Taipei Medical University. This study was divided into two phases. The first phase adopted cross-sectional study design with questionnaires to analyze the potential predictors of depressive symptoms among cancer patients. The second stage was adopted experimental study design to explore the effectiveness of nurse navigators in cancer care.
The first phase analyze the potential predictors include the following: socio-demographic characteristics, disease characteristics, lifestyle, perceived benefits, cancer patient' experience with medical service, emotional distress, anxiety, and demoralization.
The second phase will be experimental study.Thus, subjects were randomly sampled and divided into 2 groups: experimental group and control group. Subjects in the experimental group will receive oncology case manager care combined with cancer nurse navigator care, while subjects in the control group will be designed as regular care, which only care with cancer case managers. Both groups will receive long-term follow-up analysis (pre-intervention, post-intervention - 3 months, and 6 months). Outcome measures include the following: perceived benefits, emotional distress, depression and anxiety, demoralization, cancer patient' experience with medical service, and medical report indicators (retention rate, completion rate, survival rate, mortality rate, untreated cancer within 3 months).
2,109 studies on the registry are indexed under Mental Disorders; 417 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 191 is above the median of 94 across 1,576 interventional studies indexed under Mental Disorders.

Perceived benefits scale (PBS), questionnaires to measure self-efficacy
Questionnaires to measure self-efficacy collected at three time points (baseline, 3th month, and 6th month). Evaluate the effectiveness of interventions in PBS at three time points.
Time frame: Mainly consists of repeated measurements at three time points (Baseline, 3th month, and 6th month). Changes in scores on the PBS questionnaire after intervention were assessed using baseline scores as reference values.
