This trial demonstrates the efficacy of an app-based program to decrease uncertainty in illness and improve the QoL of patients with GC receiving chemotherapy. This trial illustrates how an app-based support program can be incorporated into clinical practice. Translating the intervention into clinical practice can be strengthened by establishing optimal dosage or by adapting for the larger cancer population online. This trial suggests that allocation of greater resources to mobile health interventions in clinics is warranted.This study received support from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (71974162).
