Group Curriculum for Improving Survivorship Outcomes in Young Adult Cancer Survivors

This study is testing a 6-week online group program for young adults (ages 18-39) who have finished cancer treatment. The program is led by two oncology social workers and aims to help you with challenges after cancer, like re-entering daily life. You'll discuss concerns and get information about being a young adult cancer survivor. The main goal is to see if this program improves your quality of life. To join, you need to be a Mayo Clinic Arizona patient, have a history of cancer treated with the goal of cure, and have completed treatment within the last 6 months to 2 years. You also need to be able to speak English and commit to attending all six group meetings.

What this trial measures

  • Change in quality of lifeBaseline and 6 weeks

    Will be measured using the Quality of Life Patient/Cancer Survivor Version (QOL-CSV). The QOL-CSV is based on pre-existing versions of the City of Hope's QOL instrument. A pilot study conducted by Hassey-Dow and Farrell provided data which resulted in the revision of the QOL into 41 items that represent four domains of quality of life as pertaining to cancer survivorship: physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being. Only the psychological well-being, social concerns, and spiritual well-being components will be used. A two-sided paired t-test for the difference in the mean response will be conducted. A significance level of 0.05 will be used. If the data violate normality assumptions, a non-parametric alternative will be used. Additional summary statistics such as the proportion of participants who reported an improvement in QOL-CSV score may be used as appropriate.
