Brief description of study
What is the purpose of this study?
The purpose of this proposed qualitative dissertation study is to describe AYA's personal experiences of spirituality during cancer diagnoses and treatment. Findings will advance our conceptual understanding of AYA spirituality and inform the subsequent development of reliable measures and meaningful interventions.
THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit. PI and staff may send copies of relevant consent forms to these patients to look over prior to actually consenting or enrolling them. This may take place at the patient's visit at which the consent is presented or the patient's next visit to the outpatient hematology/oncology clinic.
