e-Health Psychosocial Stress and Symptom Management (ePSMI) for Pancreatic Cancer Patients

Summary

The purpose of this research is to evaluate a new, web-based program among patients with pancreatic cancer aimed at reducing psychosocial stress.

Interventions

• ePSMI · BEHAVIORAL

  Participants will complete an hour of cognitive behavioral stress management program in person or remote each week for ten weeks. The cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) skills target reducing anxiety, (e.g., relaxation), changing negative appraisals (e.g., cognitive restructuring), coping skills training (e.g., enhancing adaptive skills), behavioral activation, interpersonal skills (e.g., communication skills) and building or enhancing social networks. The intervention will be administered online, and each module will last about 1-hour. After module completion, participants will have access to modules covered during session.
