Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is known to be effective for the alleviation of HFNS. However, it is not known if it can effectively be delivered by specialist nurses. We investigated whether group CBT delivered by breast care nurses (BCNs) can reduce the impact of HFNS.MethodsWe recruited women with primary breast cancer following primary treatment with seven or more HFNS/week (including 4/10 or above on the HFNS problem rating scale), from six UK hospitals to an open, randomised, phase 3 effectiveness trial. Participants were randomised to Group CBT or usual care (UC). The primary endpoint was HFNS problem rating at 26 weeks post randomisation. Secondary outcomes included sleep, depression, anxiety and quality of life. ResultsBetween 2017-2018, 130 participants were recruited (CBT:63, control:67). We found a 46% (6.9 to 3.7) reduction in the mean HFNS problem rating score from randomisation to 26 weeks in the CBT arm and a 15% (6.5 to 5.5) reduction in the UC arm (adjusted mean difference -1.96, CI -3.68 to -0.23, p=0.039). Secondary outcomes, including frequency of HFNS, sleep, anxiety and depression all improved significantly.ConclusionOur results suggest that specialist nurses can be trained to deliver CBT effectively to alleviate troublesome menopausal hot flushes in women following breast cancer in the NHS setting.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>Psycho-Oncology</journal><volume>29</volume><journalNumber>10</journalNumber><paginationStart/><paginationEnd/><publisher>Wiley</publisher><placeOfPublication/><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint>1057-9249</issnPrint><issnElectronic>1099-1611</issnElectronic><keywords/><publishedDay>10</publishedDay><publishedMonth>10</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2020</publishedYear><publishedDate>2020-10-10</publishedDate><doi>10.1002/pon.5432</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm/><funders/><projectreference/><lastEdited>2023-12-20T15:08:28.7484562</lastEdited><Created>2020-06-05T17:34:02.1965741</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences</level><level id="2">School of Health and Social Care - Nursing</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Deborah</firstname><surname>Fenlon</surname><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Tom</firstname><surname>Maishman</surname><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>Laura</firstname><surname>Day</surname><order>3</order></author><author><firstname>Jacqueline</firstname><surname>Nuttall</surname><order>4</order></author><author><firstname>Carl</firstname><surname>May</surname><order>5</order></author><author><firstname>Mary</firstname><surname>Ellis</surname><order>6</order></author><author><firstname>James</firstname><surname>Raftery</surname><order>7</order></author><author><firstname>Lesley</firstname><surname>Turner</surname><order>8</order></author><author><firstname>Jo</firstname><surname>Fields</surname><order>9</order></author><author><firstname>Gareth</firstname><surname>Griffiths</surname><order>10</order></author><author><firstname>Myra S.</firstname><surname>Hunter</surname><order>11</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>54397__18337__4870b76c95d846a2ad4c67a5dcf597a7.pdf</filename><originalFilename>pon.5432.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2020-10-06T12:51:59.5298205</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>821090</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>Version of Record</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><documentNotes>Released under the terms of a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC-BY).</documentNotes><copyrightCorrect>true</copyrightCorrect><language>eng</language><licence>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</licence></document></documents><OutputDurs/></rfc1807>
