Overview
Brief Summary
Participants in this research study are asked to tell about their experience with art therapy. Participants in this research study are currently receiving chemotherapy treatment for cancer. The purpose of this study is to learn how art therapy affects mood, anxiety, pain, and emotions of individuals with cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy.
Detailed Description
In this single-center single-arm non-controlled descriptive study, we aim to describe the effects of a single art therapy session on a cancer patient's mood, pain, anxiety level. Primary Objectives * To assess the effect of art therapy on the cancer patient's mood * To assess the effect of art therapy on the cancer patient's anxiety * To assess the effect of art therapy on the cancer patient's pain Secondary Objectives * To explore differences in response to art therapy by ethnic group, race, age, sex, caregiver support, cancer diagnosis, reason for visit, and marital status * To explore differences in response to art therapy by primary concern expressed by patients during art therapy sessions

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The effect of art therapy on the cancer patient's pain
Time Frame: Change from baseline to after intervention, about 50 minutes
The primary endpoint of the trial is to access the effect of an art therapy session on the patients' mood, anxiety level, and pain. To accomplish this, patients will complete four visual analog scales (VAS) prior to and after the session. The primary end points are the pre-and post session changes in the VAS.
