Summary
This trial will pilot a psychosocial intervention called Conquer Fear Support (CFS) in patients with stage III-IV lung or gynecologic cancer who are experiencing fear of cancer progression. The intervention is adapted from a novel program called "Conquer Fear" which was developed by researchers in Australia. CFS may help in reducing worries, fears, and uncertainty in patients with advanced lung or gynecological cancer.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the feasibility and acceptability of the CFS intervention in patients with advanced lung and gynecologic (GYN) cancer (stages III or IV) who have clinically significant levels of fear of cancer progression (FOP) or cancer-related distress. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess preliminary effects of the intervention on FOP, cancer-specific distress, anxiety, depression, overall symptom distress, metacognitions, and mindfulness. OUTLINE: Patients attend CFS psychosocial intervention consisting of 7 nurse-led sessions (session 1 in-person and sessions 2-7 via video conferencing) over 45 minutes each for 8 weeks. Patients also complete home practice assignments comprising attention training technique and mindfulness practice sessions after each session. After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up at week 12.
