Article Synopsis
- A significant portion of older adult cancer survivors (35%) experience clinically meaningful depression, often exacerbated by post-cancer fatigue and cognitive challenges.
- This study will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing a brief behavioral activation intervention designed for these survivors (BBA-OACS) to a standard supportive psychotherapy (SP) treatment.
- The trial, taking place at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, aims to assess the implementation outcomes of both interventions, focusing on their acceptability, feasibility, and fidelity in a sample of 70 participants.
Background And Objectives: The Stress Management and Relaxation Training-Relaxation Response Resiliency Program (SMART-3RP) is a mind-body group intervention that integrates relaxation training with cognitive behavioral and positive psychology techniques. This study assessed SMART-3RP feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy for enhancing resilience and flourishing among older adults in continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs).
Research Design And Methods: We conducted a prospective single-arm study of SMART-3RP groups delivered by clinicians at 4 CCRCs (n = 80).
