Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of a virtual, group mind-body resiliency intervention adapted to target fear of recurrence (FOR) among cancer survivors.

Detailed description

This is a randomized pilot feasibility trial (1:1 intervention versus usual care; a referral to community-based cancer survivor support group) that will use mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a virtual, group mind-body resiliency intervention adapted to target fear of recurrence (IN FOCUS) among cancer survivors with clinically elevated fear of recurrence (N = approximately 64). Patient-reported outcomes on psychological and behavioral outcomes will be measured at T0 (baseline), T1 (post-intervention/approximately two months post-baseline), and T2 (three months post-intervention/approximately five months post-baseline). Exit interviews will be conducted after the T1 survey. Participants are expected to be in the study for approximately five months.
