A mixed methods pilot study of a virtual therapeutic writing intervention for adolescent/young adults with cancer.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a virtual therapeutic writing intervention for AYAs with cancer.
Methods: A single-arm pilot study of the intervention was conducted at Rady Children's Hospital San Diego. The six-session intervention was facilitated by a writing coach over two to three months, during which time participants produced written work regarding their experiences with cancer. Primary outcomes were measures of acceptability and feasibility, assessed via quantitative and qualitative methods.
Results: Study enrollment and retention rates were 75% and 83%, respectively. Participants rated all intervention sessions as highly enjoyable, helpful, useful, and satisfactory. Qualitatively, participants reported that the intervention helped them cope with their cancer and they would recommend the study to others with cancer.
Conclusions: This virtual therapeutic writing study is feasible and acceptable among AYAs with cancer. A randomized controlled trial should be conducted to test the efficacy of the intervention for improving psychosocial outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Here is your single source of integrated information on providing the best psychosocial care possible from the knowledge available from many disciplines.The Journal of Psychosocial Oncology is an essential source for up-to-date clinical and research material geared toward health professionals who provide psychosocial services to cancer patients, their families, and their caregivers. The journal—the first interdisciplinary resource of its kind—is in its third decade of examining exploratory and hypothesis testing and presenting program evaluation research on critical areas, including: the stigma of cancer; employment and personal problems facing cancer patients; patient education.
