Adapting Psychosocial Resiliency Intervention for Parents of Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer
Sponsor: Zeba Ahmad, Ph.D.
Summary
The study team aims to adapt a psychosocial intervention to reduce psychological distress among the caregiving parents of adolescents and young adults (aged 15-39) who have cancer. First, the study team will adapt an evidence-supported, group-based program for improving psychological resiliency (Stress Management and Resiliency Training - Relaxation Response Resiliency Program; SMART-3RP(E. R. Park et al., 2021)), and iteratively incorporate feedback from parents of AYA with cancer using a mixed-methods approach. Next, the study team will pilot the refined intervention to assess for preliminary indicators of feasibility, acceptability, and potential for efficacy in reducing parental distress.
