Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study adapts and assesses the effect of a multicomponent physical activity intervention in reducing psychosocial distress in cancer patients. This study aims to develop a program to help increase physical activity and reduce stress in cancer survivors who live in rural areas.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To adapt a multicomponent intervention (HH+AIM) that assesses the perspective of health care provider and cancer survivors about:

Ia. Needs related to psychosocial distress and health behaviors in rural patients with cancer.

Ib. Needs related to implementing interventions within the treatment setting. Ic. Barriers to intervention delivery/participate. Id. Preferred means/methods for referring participants and receiving information related to the intervention.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess time spent sitting in prolonged bouts of 20 consecutive minutes or more (minutes/day).

II. To assess daily number of steps (collected using the activPAL over 7 days at week 8, data will be averaging over 7 days to get minutes per day).

III. To assess psychosocial distress measured using the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Distress Thermometer scores.

IV. To assess health-related quality of life measured using the SF-36 short form.

OUTLINE:

PART I: Patients and providers complete a questionnaire and attend an interview over 1 hour.

PART II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I: Patients attend face-to-face mind-body sessions focused on stretching, breathing, and relaxation twice a week and receive targeted text messages daily on their smartphone for 8 weeks.

GROUP II: Patients receive usual care.
