Summary

The purpose of this study to test measures of physical and psychological resilience while using Self-System therapy (SST), to treat depression and lung-cancer-related distress in older adults (65 years and older).

Detailed description

The investigator will examine the feasibility of delivering measures of psychological and physical resilience while delivering the SST intervention. The investigator will also examine whether participation in SST can help alleviate symptoms of depression and distress while helping improve overall physical functioning in older adults with advanced lung cancer.

Conditions

• Lung Cancer Stage III
• Lung Cancer Stage IV

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Self System Therapy for Older Adults with Advanced Lung Cancer (SST-LC) Resilience	The SST-LC is a brief structured intervention deliverable by video conference. The SST-LC Resilience protocol will incorporate behavioral strategies designed to meet the needs of older adults with lung cancer, including examining individual and shared expectations for lung cancer care, identifying discrepancies between expectations and realistic possibilities, and modifying stress-exacerbating behaviors. The focus will be to test measures of resilience during the intervention period.
