Increasing Resiliency Among Early Post-Treatment Lymphoma Survivors

OTHER

Enhanced Usual Care

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.

Change from Baseline in Coping Scores on the Measure of Current Status Scale (MOCS-A)

Time frame: Baseline to 3 month follow up

The Measure of Current Status Scale (MOCS-A) measures coping processes on 4 domains: ability to relax, recognize stress, elicit support, and restructure thoughts. It is a 13-item scale where each item is measured on a 0-4 scale.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
