Summary

The purpose of this research is to determine the feasibility of a new supportive intervention, called Pathways, for patients with advanced stage and metastatic lung cancer.

Detailed description

In this study, investigators will first test the Pathways procedures with 6 patients to identify any improvements that need to be made. Then, investigators will test the feasibility of the Pathways intervention with 20 patients who are undergoing cancer treatment for advanced stage or metastatic lung cancer. Pathways is designed to help patients set and pursue personal goals during lung cancer treatment. In this study, investigators want to see if they can recruit patients with lung cancer who are being treated at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center to participate in the Pathways intervention.

Conditions

• Metastatic Lung Cancer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Pathways	Goal-setting intervention to help patients identify personal values, value-consistent goals, and ways to pursue goals and address goal obstacles. Although potential refinements may occur based on aim 1 (refining procedures and content with 6 patients), Pathways is designed to consist primarily of 2 in-person sessions (\~30-60 minutes) delivered when patients are in clinic for cancer treatment, with supporting phone calls and contact in between sessions.
