Daily Stress Process and Daily Cognitive Performance Among Racially Diverse Breast Cancer Survivors: A Feasibility and Validation Study

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

The primary goal of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of a 14-day mobile daily diary study among racially diverse breast cancer survivors. Further, the investigators will examine the validity and reliability of the daily stress and daily cognitive performance measures among breast cancer survivors. This pilot project will recruit 30 racially diverse breast cancer survivors (Asian, Black, Latina, and white; ages 40 and older; at least five years post-diagnosis) who are patients at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center. The daily diary survey questions will be available in English, Spanish, and Chinese to accommodate the preferred language of the target participants.

Mobile Daily Diary Survey
Participants in the study will be given a mobile phone to complete the study. Participants will first complete the baseline survey using the mobile phone (day 1) to collect demographic and socioeconomic status information. Starting from day 2 to day 14, participants will complete the short morning (2-3 min) and slightly longer (5-7 min) evening mobile daily diary surveys. The morning survey asks questions about sleep, morning outlook, and anticipatory stress and positive experiences. The evening survey asks questions about the respondent's daily experiences (stressors, mood, physical symptoms). After each survey, respondents will complete three brief objective cognitive tasks. To minimize the risk of data breach, all the information from the survey will be stored on a password protected mobile phone which will be set up to ensure that participants are only able to use the phone for the study processes, not for phone calls or to connect to the internet.
