Summary

This trial studies whether a form of psychotherapy called accelerated resolution therapy can help with cancer distress and psychological trauma. Accelerated resolution therapy is an evidence-based therapy for the treatment of depressive symptoms, trauma, and stress-related disorders. This study may provide evidence to support integration of accelerated resolution therapy into psychological treatment of cancer patients, which may decrease cancer related trauma and distress.

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Calculate changes, and estimate mean changes, in primary outcomes of psychological trauma and cancer distress over a six week time period while receiving weekly accelerated resolution therapy (ART).

II. Calculate changes, and estimate mean changes, in secondary outcomes of anxiety and depression over a six week period while receiving weekly ART.

III. We will use a qualitative, descriptive design to explore contextual elements of the cancer experience that are consistently distressing and/or psychologically traumatic to more fully inform a future randomized controlled trial (RCT) testing in ART in cancer distress and psychological trauma.

IV. Calculate changes, and estimate mean changes, in secondary outcomes of resilience and symptom distress over a six week period while receiving weekly ART.

OUTLINE

Patients undergo ART over 60-90 minutes once a week for up to 5 sessions.

After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up at 1 week and again at 1 month.
