Summary

This trial studies how well online psychosocial intervention works in improving social well-being and support in women who are undergoing treatment for stage I-IV non-small cell lung cancer. Psychosocial intervention techniques, such as mindfulness, compassion, and emotional processing, may improve distress and help patients manage symptoms related to non-small cell lung cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Examine the feasibility (primary outcome) of the BREATHE intervention in women with lung cancer (LC).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Establish the initial intervention efficacy regarding psychological distress (secondary outcome) and cancer symptoms (tertiary outcome) relative to an education comparison (EC) group.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. Explore potential mediation (e.g., mindfulness, compassion, inflammatory processes) and moderation (e.g., demographic and medical factors) of the intervention effects.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I (PSYCHOLOGICAL): Patients participate in 5 psychological sessions and complete training on mindfulness, compassion, emotional processing, social support, generating positive emotions, and proactive coping strategies once a week for up to 5 weeks. Patients also complete questionnaires over 35 minutes and participate in video-based group sessions weekly for 5 weeks.

GROUP II (EDUCATIONAL): Patients participate in 5 information sessions and receive education on lung cancer, symptom management, communication, and practicing self-care once a week for up to 5 weeks. Patients also complete questionnaires and participate in group sessions as in group I.

After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up at 1 week and at 3 months.
