View Award Description

An-in-depth exploration of coping strategies and their impact on psychological distress in cancer survivors - It is well established that psychological distress is an important symptom experienced by cancer survivors throughout survivorship and can negatively impact treatment compliance, quality of life, and overall wellbeing. Further, prior research has shown that coping strategies can in turn influence psychological outcomes. However, data about the impact of coping strategies on cancer related psychological distress is scant. This is an important gap given the adverse impact of psychological distress on cancer outcomes. The purpose of the proposed research, “An-in-depth exploration of coping strategies and their impact psychological distress among cancer survivors,” is to gain a detailed understanding of the unique role of coping strategies on the psychological distress experience of cancer survivors. This is essential to identify potentially modifiable factors for distress management interventions for cancer survivors. A highly qualified multi-disciplinary team has been assembled to support the research and training goals. The study aims for the postdoctoral (K00) research project are: 1) assess psychological distress and identify the contribution of coping strategies on psychological distress among post-treatment cancer survivors using a sequential mixed methods study.; 2) determine if coping strategies mediate and/or moderate the association between multilevel factors and psychological distress among post-treatment cancer survivors.; 3) to conduct a qualitative study to inform the adaptation of an existing evidence-based distress management intervention for cancer survivors. The proposed research aligns with NCI’s key research area of cancer survivorship, which among other issues prioritizes addressing psychological concerns in cancer.
