Official title
Pursuing Exploration Into the Supportive Care Needs and Intervention Preferences of Survivors of Testicular Cancer (PERSIST): A Mixed Methods Pilot Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This trial tests the impact of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based coaching program delivered via videoconferencing on fear of cancer recurrence (primary outcome), anxiety, other symptoms, health-related quality of life, and coping (secondary outcomes) in survivors of testicular cancer. ACT includes experiential training in present moment awareness (e.g., mindfulness meditation, performing activities with greater awareness), coping adaptively with difficult internal experiences (e.g., thoughts, feelings, body sensation), identifying personally meaningful values, and pursuing activities consistent with these values. Testicular cancer survivors (N=70) will be randomly assigned in equal numbers to either an ACT-based coaching program or an education/support coaching program, both delivered via videoconferencing. Survivors in both conditions will participate in six weekly 90-minute online group sessions. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 2 weeks post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention. The investigators hypothesize that ACT will lead to improved primary and secondary outcomes as compared to education/support. Study findings will inform a large-scale trial of intervention efficacy.
