Completed

• Conditions: COVID-19 Infection; Malignant Solid Neoplasm; Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Cell Neoplasm
• Interventions: Other: Survey Administration

• Registration Number: NCT04630015
• Lead Sponsor: University of California, San Francisco

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the effects of the Survivorship Wellness Group Program following active treatment, as well as to learn from Survivorship Wellness participants about their concerns regarding the current COVID-19 pandemic. This study may help to evaluate the impact of the survivorship program on patient well-being, provide evidence for use in grant application and publications, and ultimately inform the continued improvement of survivorship care.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

1. To examine the feasibility and acceptability of implementing an interdisciplinary goal-setting clinical group program focused on domains of physical, psychological, and spiritual wellness for survivors of cancer at University of California San Francisco (UCSF).

2. To determine preliminary efficacy of the Survivorship Wellness intervention in regards to:

1. Increasing knowledge of and perceived confidence in execution of health behavior changes in domains of physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness for survivors of cancer.

2. Increasing quality of life.

3. Reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

4. Increasing physical activity.

3. To assess differences in patient wellbeing and in the impact of the Survivorship Wellness program during the period of COVID-19 and telehealth classes.

OUTLINE:

Patients complete surveys over 5-10 minutes at baseline (i.e. before participating in the program), and at 9 and 15 weeks follow up on the impact of COVID-19 on survivorship. Patients also complete a survey assessing how patients rate telehealth classes in the Survivorship Wellness program.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Observational (surveys)	Survey Administration	Patients complete surveys over 5-10 minutes at baseline (i.e. before participating in the program), and at 9 and 15 weeks follow up on the impact of COVID-19 on survivorship. Patients also complete a survey assessing how patients rate telehealth classes in the Survivorship Wellness program.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Changes in the Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Anxiety Short Form over time	Baseline, Week 9, and Week 15, up to 15 weeks total	The PROMIS Anxiety Short form consists of 2 items addressing patient anxiety with item response scores ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (Always). Raw scores are converted to scaled T-scores with higher scores indicating a greater level of anxiety. Significant changes over time and trends in patient reported outcomes will be analyzed via student's T-test.
Changes in the Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Depression Short Form over time	Baseline, Week 9, and Week 15, up to 15 weeks total	The PROMIS Depression Short form consists of 4 items addressing patient depression with item response scores ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (Always). Raw scores are converted to scaled T-scores with higher scores indicating a greater level of depression. Significant changes over time and trends in patient reported outcomes will be analyzed via student's T-test.
Changes in the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-G) scores	Baseline, Week 9, and Week 15, up to 15 weeks total	The FACT-G is a 27-item questionnaire designed to measure four domains of health related quality of life (HRQOL) in cancer patients with 4 domains of interest: Physical, social, emotional, and functional well-being. Each tem response score ranges from 0 (not at all) to 5 (very much). The total score is a sum of the subscale scores, with a range from 0 - 108. The higher the score, the better the HRQOL.
