Daily Stress Process and Daily Cognitive Performance Among Racially Diverse Breast Cancer Survivors: A Feasibility and Validation Study
Thomas Jefferson University
Summary
The primary goal of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of a 14-day mobile daily diary study among racially diverse breast cancer survivors. Further, the investigators will examine the validity and reliability of the daily stress and daily cognitive performance measures among breast cancer survivors. This pilot project will recruit 30 racially diverse breast cancer survivors (Asian, Black, Latina, and white; ages 40 and older; at least five years post-diagnosis) who are patients at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center. The daily diary survey questions will be available in English, Spanish, and Chinese to accommodate the preferred language of the target participants.
Description
This is a pilot study that will assess the feasibility of a 14-day mobile daily diary survey to measure daily stress and cognitive performance among long-term breast cancer survivors. Participants will be recruited from the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center (SKCC) at Thomas Jefferson University (TJU). Potential participants will be identified via the SKCC/TJU Tumor Registry. Potential participants will be contacted with their cancer care team approval. Contact may be accomplished via an upcoming clinical appointment, phone, email, or MyChart (RLS) depending on the patient's communication preference…
