Brief Summary

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

The goal of this study is to develop and pilot test a therapeutic strategy combining cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with mindfulness practices tailored for individuals adjusting to vision loss. The study will begin with focus groups to inform the design of the intervention. Participants will complete brief surveys on their background and experiences with vision loss prior to attending a focus group, and some may be invited to a second session to provide additional feedback before preliminary testing begins. In the pilot phase, participants will attend weekly group therapy sessions using the developed intervention and complete assessments before and after the program, including questions about vision status, demographics, and experiences with vision loss.

Detailed Description

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

The goal of this study is to develop and pilot test an 8-week cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) \& mindfulness curriculum tailored for people adjusting to vision loss. Development of the curriculum during the initial phase of this research will include a thorough review of the literature, input from participant groups, and insights from an expert panel. An initial draft of the curriculum will be developed based on the findings from the literature review. 30-40 Participants will have the opportunity to attend up to two focus group sessions to provide feedback and input on content relevance, feasibility, and acceptability of the curriculum. In the pilot testing phase, 15-20 participants will attend eight weekly group therapy sessions held either in-person or virtually using the developed curriculum and will complete assessments before and after the program. These assessments will include questions about your vision, demographics, and experiences with vision loss, as well as collecting baseline and post-intervention measures prior to undergoing the 8-week pilot testing.
