Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an online expressive storytelling intervention for adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer.

* Specific Aim 1. To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a 5-week online expressive storytelling intervention. We will (a) conduct a 1-group pre- and post-test study with 20 AYA with cancer and (b) examine feasibility and acceptability through study enrollment rates, retention rates, usability score, adherence and data collection rates, satisfaction score, perceived benefits score, and intervention fidelity.

\*Hypothesis 1: We will reach following feasibility and acceptability benchmarks: (a) \>70% enrollment of eligible participants, (b) \>70% retention, (c) \>75% adherence and data collection, (d) \>70 out of 100 usability score, (e) \>5 out of 7 satisfaction score, (f) \>average 5 on the perceived benefits score, and (g) \>3 out of 4 fidelity score.
* Specific Aim 2. To assess preliminary efficacy of a 5-week online expressive storytelling intervention.

* Hypothesis 2: AYA participants will report lower psychosocial distress, higher health-related quality of life, and higher well-being scores postintervention.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Nurse-patient dyadic storytelling intervention

During the 5-week online intervention, adolescents/young adults with cancer will create their stories following the guiding questions and online meetings with nursing research staff. The target audience of their stories will be their primary nurses. This online dyadic storytelling intervention is designed to promote in-depth self-reflection and meaningful and therapeutic relationships within bedside nurses. The intervention is designed following the Story Theory and Pennebaker's Expressive Writing paradigm.
