Official title
Thriving Beyond Treatment: A Resilience-Based Approach to Improve Long-term Quality of Life in Post-treatment Lymphoma Survivorship.
Overview
The goal of this trial is to learn if a resilience intervention can lead to improvements in lymphoma survivors' quality of life.
Detailed description
The Stress Management and Relaxation Response Resiliency Program for lymphoma survivors (SMART3RP-Lymphoma) was adapted by researchers at the MGH. This group program seeks to buffer stress and promote psychological resiliency and physical well-being through a variety of mind-body approaches, such as imagery, relaxation, and yoga, cognitive behavioral strategies, and positive psychology tools.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Will survivors randomized to SMART3RP-Lymphoma demonstrate greater improvements in quality of life when compared to survivors randomized to a Health Education Program? * Will improvements in resiliency lead to improvements in quality of life?
To answer these questions, researchers will compare a resilience intervention tailored to the needs of lymphoma survivors (SMART3RP-Lymphoma) to a Health Education Program to see how they affect quality of life of lymphoma survivors.
Participants will:
* Fill out 4 surveys across 12 months * Participate in 8 weekly, virtual group sessions * Submit hair cortisol samples
Interventions
- Other Health Education Program
8 weekly sessions that include education on the co-occurrence of mental and physical problems, goal setting for health behavior change, and self-monitoring. Each session includes basic didactic information, interactive application of the information, and open discussion of didactic material. - Other SMART3RP-Lymphoma
The SMART3RP-lymphoma is a group program that, through a variety of mind-body approaches, such as imagery, relaxation, and yoga, seeks to buffer stress and promote psychological resiliency and physical well-being.
