研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to test whether a new program Nuevo Amanecer (A New Dawn), improves the quality of life of Latinas diagnosed with breast cancer. Trained Latina counselors who have had breast cancer provide support to recently diagnosed women. The investigators call these counselors peer support counselors.
详细描述
This study will assess the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) intervention for newly diagnosed Latina breast cancer patients. In our prior work, the investigators established the appropriate content of the intervention, the need for early intervention, and the value of culturally competent peer support. In this study the investigators will adapt an evidence-based CBSM intervention designed to meet these needs. This study will use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design with a wait-listed usual care control group to adapt the intervention and test its effectiveness in improving breast cancer specific quality-of-life, and decreasing anxiety and breast cancer specific distress. The new, adapted intervention will be called "Nuevo Amanecer" (A New Dawn).

结局指标
主要结局
Breast Cancer Concerns a Subscale of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast Quality of Life Instrument (FACT-B)
时间窗: Baseline and 6 month assessment
FACT-B was used as the breast cancer-specific quality-of-life measure. FACT-B consists of 5 subscale scores pertaining to 4 well-being dimensions (physical, social-family, emotional, functional) and additional breast cancer concerns. A total overall score is the sum of all subscales. Response options were 0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, and 4=very much. Psychometric analysis in our Spanish-speaking Latina sample resulted in modifications to FACT-B: breast cancer concerns subscale. Of 7 items, 2 were dropped because of low item-scale correlations and were conceptually different from the other items on that scale. Modified subscale was scored by summing items. Possible score ranges for emotional well-being were 0-28. Higher scores indicated greater well-being.
Physical Well-being a Subcale of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast Quality of Life Instrument (FACT-B)
时间窗: Baseline and 6 month assessment
FACT-B was used as the breast cancer-specific quality-of-life measure. FACT-B consists of 5 subscale scores pertaining to 4 well-being dimensions (physical, social-family, emotional, functional) and additional breast cancer concerns. A total overall score is the sum of all subscales. Response options were 0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, and 4=very much. Psychometric analysis in our Spanish-speaking Latina sample resulted in modifications to FACT-B: physical well-being subscale. Of 7 items, 1 was dropped because it was conceptually different from other items on that scale. Modified subscale was scored by summing items. Possible score ranges for physical well-being were 0-24. Higher scores indicated greater well-being.
Social/Family Well-being a Subcale of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast Quality of Life Instrument (FACT-B)
时间窗: Baseline and 6 month assessment
FACT-B was used as the breast cancer-specific quality-of-life measure. FACT-B consists of 5 subscale scores pertaining to 4 well-being dimensions (physical, social-family, emotional, functional) and additional breast cancer concerns. A total overall score is the sum of all subscales. Response options were 0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, and 4=very much. Psychometric analysis in our Spanish-speaking Latina sample resulted in modifications to FACT-B: social/family well-being subscale. Of 7 items, 2 were dropped because the items were conditional on having a partner (resulting in lots of missing data). Modified subscale was scored by summing items. Possible score ranges for social/family well-being were 0-20. Higher scores indicated greater well-being.
Enjoyment of Life a Subscale of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast Quality of Life Instrument (FACT-B)
时间窗: Baseline and 6 month assessment
FACT-B was used as the breast cancer-specific quality-of-life measure. FACT-B consists of 5 subscale scores pertaining to 4 well-being dimensions (physical, social-family, emotional, functional) and additional breast cancer concerns. A total overall score is the sum of all subscales. Response options were 0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, and 4=very much. Psychometric analysis in our Spanish-speaking Latina sample resulted in modifications to FACT-B: functional well-being subscale. Of 7 items, 3 were dropped because items were conceptually different and did not converge psychometrically with the other items on that scale; the remaining 4 items were specific to enjoyment of life, thus we renamed the subscale to "Enjoyment of Life". Modified subscale was scored by summing items. Possible score ranges for enjoyment of life were 0-16. Higher scores indicated greater well-being.
Emotional Well-being a Subscale of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast Quality of Life Instrument (FACT-B)
时间窗: Baseline and 6 month assessment
FACT-B was used as the breast cancer-specific quality-of-life measure. FACT-B consists of 5 subscale scores pertaining to 4 well-being dimensions (physical, social-family, emotional, functional) and additional breast cancer concerns. A total overall score is the sum of all subscales. Response options were 0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, and 4=very much. Psychometric analysis in our Spanish-speaking Latina sample resulted in modifications to FACT-B: emotional well-being subscale. Of 6 items, 1 was dropped because of low item-scale correlations and it was conceptually different from the other items on that scale (only positively worded item on the scale). Modified subscale was scored by summing items. Possible score ranges for emotional well-being were 0-20. Higher scores indicated greater well-being.
Total Score of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast Quality of Life Instrument (FACT-B)
时间窗: Baseline and 6 month assessment
FACT-B was used as the breast cancer-specific quality-of-life measure. FACT-B consists of 5 subscale scores pertaining to 4 well-being dimensions (physical, social-family, emotional, functional) and additional breast cancer concerns. A total overall score is the sum of all subscales. Response options were 0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, and 4=very much. Psychometric analysis in our Spanish-speaking Latina sample resulted in modifications to each of the FACT-B subscale. The total overall score is based on the sum of modified subscales (see above primary outcomes for modifications to subscales). Possible score ranges for the total overall score were 0-108. Higher scores indicated greater well-being.
