The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a mind body resilience group program can help increase lymphoma survivors' ability to cope with and manage the challenges that come with the transition into early post treatment survivorship.
This is a randomized controlled trial assessing the effects of the Stress Management and Resiliency Training: Relaxation Response Resiliency-Lymphoma (SMART3RP-Lymphoma) compared to Enhanced Usual Care on 254 early post treatment lymphoma survivors. The SMART-3RP is a comprehensive, evidence-based mind body group program designed to help individuals adapt to chronic stress (i.e., increase their resilience). It understands the adjustment to chronic stress as a dynamic process, blending CBT, positive psychology and mind body tools to target key coping processes. This trial seeks to answer the f…
Inclusion Criteria: * English speaking adult (18 years or older at enrollment) * Is at least 6 months post-diagnosis and a) is currently undergoing lymphoma treatment (includes surgery, chemotherapy/immunotherapy/radiation therapy, or other) with evidence of treatment response or disease control; or b) has completed lymphoma treatment (e.g., chemotherapy/immunotherapy/radiation therapy, surgery or other) within the past 2 years and has disease control at treatment completion; patients may still be on maintenance treatment to prolong disease control. Exclusion Criteria: * Has not initiated t…
Participants will receive a singleevaluation with a site social worker along with a list of mental health, social or community resources . This most closely resembles the real-world care available to survivors on an outpatient basis, however, we call this enhanced usual care since proactive identification and referral of posttreatment survivors is not routinely done.
The intervention components include: 1. Eliciting the relaxation response (RR) involves sustained mental focus with an attitude of open receptive awareness. 2. CBT to improve stress management involves increasing awareness and identification of the components of one's stress response (negative thoughts, emotions, physical reactions, behaviors, and relational) and learning skills at each session to alter these components (e.g., cognitive restructuring). 3. Positive psychology strategies to achieve growth enhancement focus on utilizing techniques and skills to promote positive growth. Skills focus on increasing social support, positive affect, and compassion.
