Development of a Digital Tool, MyInspiration, for the Improvement of Spiritual Well-Being in Patients with Cancer
- Conditions
- Malignant Solid Neoplasm
- Interventions
- Other: Internet-Based Intervention
- Registration Number
- NCT05198089
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to pilot a beta version of a digital resource that supports the religious and spiritual beliefs of cancer patients, "MyInspiration".After receiving a cancer diagnosis, survivors are encouraged to make major life-altering decisions related to their treatment and care. The availability of spiritual/religious resources during cancer treatment may positively impact patient outcomes, feelings of well-being, and be essential components of holistic, patient-centered care. MyInspiration is a digital tool focused on spiritual and/or religious guidance and support that can be customized based on patient preferences and administered to cancer patients and their family members during cancer treatment. MyInspiration may help improve spiritual well-being in patients with cancer.
- Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Conduct a pilot of MyInspiration to determine acceptability, feasibility, and general satisfaction by its end-users.
II. Explore the qualitative opinions of patients who participated in the feasibility trial more in-depth using 1-on-1 interviews.
OUTLINE: Single-group feasibility pilot.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Acceptability of MyInspiration Up to 30 days Acceptability will be assessed by study attrition rates.
Feasibility of MyInspiration:Recruitment Up to 30 days Feasibility will be assessed by ratio of patients that enroll of the patients that indicate interest in the study
Feasibility of MyInspiration:Data Collection Up to 30 days Feasibility will be assessed by completion rates of both the baseline and follow-up measures
Feasibility of MyInspiration:Usage Patterns Up to 30 days Feasibility will be assessed by meta-analytics of website usage.
General satisfaction of MyInspiration Up to 30 days General Satisfaction will be assessed using an investigator-created 6-item scale assessing participants experience with MyInspo overall and its specific components
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Decisional regret Up to 30 days Decisional regret will be assessed post cancer-directed surgery using The Decisional Regret Scale.Items will also be adapted from scales developed by Clark et al. regarding the perceptions of one's treatment decisions, their outcomes, and the inherent uncertainty of decision making and cancer control.
