Summary

This is a feasibility pilot test of a single-arm intervention to evaluate the beta version of an mHealth app-based behavioral intervention prior to scaling for a randomized controlled trial (RCT). This mHealth intervention is designed to enhance self-efficacy and support pain and symptom self-management among post-treatment cancer survivors.

Detailed description

The intervention involves a set of tested intervention messages, ecological momentary assessments (EMAs), and e-diary entries to our PsyMINT mobile app. A 1-week mHealth intervention to cancer survivors who experience pain will be delivered. The feasibility of an mHealth app platform (PsyMINT) as a message presentation environment will be delivered and evaluated. The app messages will target five topics/modules, including psychoeducational materials related to pain management; positive psychology; opioid literacy; skill building for patient-provider communication and trust; and quality of life.
