Digital Art Activity for Cancer Patients
This study is exploring whether a digital art activity can help adult cancer patients better express their symptoms and feelings of distress. Participants will complete symptom questionnaires and engage in either a digital art activity or listen to meditative music. Researchers will then see if the digital art activity changes how patients report their symptoms, using a tool called the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS). You may be able to join if you are an adult (18 or older) admitted to the hospital with a cancer diagnosis (solid or blood cancer) and are receiving active treatment. You also need to be able to use a digital tablet and speak English or Spanish. The study aims to enroll 60 participants. The current recruitment status is unclear.
