Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for COMPASS: A Group ACT Program for Cancer Patients Treated at UCSF

Study Description

Brief Summary: Cancer Center Psychosocial services (Psycho-Oncology) offers group psychoeducational and behavioral programs as part of its clinical service for cancer patients and services at the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. Clinical outcomes and acceptability/feasibility and implementation process data from these programs are routinely gathered in an effort to engage in continuous quality improvement for the department.

Detailed Description: For this project, the study team is proposing to retrospectively analyze a de-identified data set of these data to report on pilot data on preliminary outcomes, acceptability and feasibility of the implementation of the COMPASS: Acting Mindfully for a Valued Life, based upon Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, an evidence-based behavioral intervention and facilitated by a licensed clinical psychologist in our department. This intervention was implemented as a series of clinical offerings for seven 7-session groups between September 2015 and October 2018 for 113 individual cancer patients and survivors. Outcomes measured include anxiety, depression, fear of recurrence, psychological flexibility, mindfulness; values based living, and quality of life. Participants completed surveys at 4 time points, pre and post, and two followup time points. Measures of demographics, satisfaction and feasibility/acceptability were also collected. Insights gathered from this study will be used to inform articles, grant applications and conference presentations on the implementation of behavioral interventions for cancer patients and survivors.
