Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this research study is to better understand how cancer-related fatigue affects patients and how it's discussed with providers. This information will be used to develop an educational resource (visual aid poster) that could help individuals and their providers talk about cancer-related fatigue and which may help individuals better manage this symptom.

Detailed Description

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

This is a mixed methods cross-sectional pilot study. The target population is adults ≥ 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with cancer, have completed anti-cancer treatment more than six months ago, have no current detectable evidence of cancer, and are experiencing cancer-related fatigue. Participation in this research will involve completion of a six-minute walk test, survey completion, two virtual video interviews, and potentially one additional virtual interview. The interviews will include two 45 minutes for survivors and one 30-minute interview for clinicians. An additional 30-minute interview will be conducted for each survivor and clinician group.

Study Groups

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

Survivors

Cancer survivors with any type of cancer and a history of at least 1 visit for the purpose of monitoring long term care post curative treatment at LCH and/or the Charlotte or Winston-Salem campuses of AHWFBCCC who have completed curative treatment for more than 6 months.

CRF Visual Aid

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

After all qualitative interviews and associated quantitative data analysis are complete, the visual aid will be created to illustrate, through a type of Venn Diagram, how the data are related.

Clinicians

Any providers working with post-treatment oncology survivors at LCH and the Charlotte or Winston Salem campuses of AHWFBCCC.
