Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED

• Total Enrollment: 21 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL

• Study Completion Date: 2020-12-31

Brief Summary

This study aims to conduct a single-arm pilot test of online yoga classes for young adult cancer survivors (YACS). Study hypotheses are that LYNC will be feasible (enrollment of > 50% of eligible) and acceptable (75% attendance at all sessions). In addition, analyses of preliminary efficacy outcomes will examine whether participants report potential improvements in psychosocial and physical wellbeing.

Detailed Description

This study will recruit YACS (n=30) for an 8-week course (75-minute yoga classes delivered once per week) delivered online via videoconferencing software such as Zoom or Bluejeans. During yoga classes, all participants will be able to see one another, to simulate the group experience of being in an in-person class. Participants will complete patient-reported outcomes of physical and psychosocial wellbeing at baseline (prior to class 1) and post-intervention (after class 8), as well as post-intervention measures of feasibility/acceptability (e.g., ease of accessing online classes, satisfaction with yoga classes, helpfulness of online yoga, barriers/dislikes associated with online yoga). All surveys will be administered via REDCap. In addition, the investigators will compute rates of retention (% of consenting subjects who complete post-intervention assessment) and adherence (# of yoga classes attended).
