Brief Summary

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

The goal of this pilot trial is to examine whether a mobile app version of the Promoting Resilience in Stress Management (PRISM) intervention is acceptable, easy to use, and helps improve quality of life and mental health symptoms.

Detailed Description

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

Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs) with cancer are at risk of distress, anxiety, depression, and poor quality of life. The use of mobile applications for psychosocial symptom self-management is appealing to this demographic population but this has not yet been developed and tested.

PRISM is a novel, brief, evidence-based 1:1 intervention that teaches stress management, goal-setting, meaning making, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness strategies. Here, we propose to test a mobile health (mHealth) version of PRISM, mPRISM. In a pilot randomized controlled trial, we will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and exploratory efficacy of mPRISM using a waitlist control design.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Randomized waitlist design: AYAs will be randomized 1:1 to psychosocial Usual Care (UC) or UC plus mPRISM. mPRISM will be provided to UC arm at 3-month follow-up.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

mPRISM

The Experimental (mPRISM) arm will receive mPRISM upon completion of their baseline study surveys.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

mPRISM

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

PRISM is a brief, 1:1, skills-based resilience intervention delivered in-person by trained layperson coaches. PRISM's development was based on iterative research within the AYA oncology population, stress and coping theory, resilience theory, and successful cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness interventions. mPRISM is a digital version of the PRISM program with no in-person delivery. mPRISM includes coping skills modules: managing stress, goal-setting, cognitive reframing, and meaning-making.

Waitlist control

Usual Care (UC) available to both study arms consists of standard non-directed supportive care provided for all patients including an assigned social worker throughout cancer treatment. In a waitlist design, the UC arm will receive mPRISM upon completion of 3-month follow-up surveys.

Group Type OTHER
