Summary

Worldwide, \>1.3 million adults are diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer each year. With rising survival rates, there are an increasing number of adults experiencing negative body image and decreased sexual functioning, resulting in reduced emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing and quality of life (QoL). It is vital that adults have access to programs focused on improving their body image and sexual functioning after a gynecologic cancer diagnosis. The Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation (ORCF) is a non-for-profit, community-based organization offering support to persons with cancer. Strong university-community partnerships are essential to enhance translational and implementation research efforts. Stakeholders from academia, the healthcare sector, and the community (ORCF) are partnering to establish and implement an evidenced-based yoga program co-created with adults diagnosed with gynecologic cancer and yoga instructors to address the wellbeing needs of adults diagnosed with gynecologic cancer. The specific objectives of this mixed-methods feasibility trial are to: (1) evaluate the feasibility (recruitment, retention, adherence, intervention fidelity) of (a) the yoga program and (b) the trial methods the investigators propose to use to evaluate its benefits in a future trial (i.e., trial methods), (2) evaluate the acceptability of the yoga program and evaluative methods, and (3) explore preliminary effects of the program on key self-reported outcomes. Data will be used to frame evaluation and implementation efforts.

BEHAVIORAL

Yoga Program

The yoga program involves two weekly 60-minute group-based classes. Participants can attend in-person or online (via Zoom). In total, 24 classes will be offered across 12 weeks. The program structure has been developed and approved by certified yoga instructors (n=12) and adults diagnosed with gynecologic cancer (n=6). The classes will follow a flexible base class that the instructor can then adapt as they see fit to promote participants' comfort, safety, and engagement. The program will also include group discussions and journaling that participants may participate in, if they choose. Finally, participants will be encouraged to access an online database of pre-recorded short-duration yoga practices to support their at-home practice.
