It depends on your main goal and outcomes, but in our study we focused on clinically relevant anxiety using PROMIS-Anxiety. Itβs brief, validated, and sensitive to change, practical for trials focused on treatment while still capturing meaningful psychosocial outcomes. #TOeJC
The app is based on a 30-year program developed by @Linda_E_Carlson and Dr. Speca, the Mindfulness-Based Cancer Survivorship (MBCS) program. It has been translated into an app format and is freely available for download from the Apple and Google Play stores #TOeJC@AmDTx_official

Distress can be measured using validated PROMs, like the Distress Thermometer, PROMIS-Anxiety/Depression... In the clinic, brief tools allow quick screening; in trials, more detailed PROs capture longitudinal changes. #TOeJC#PsyOnc

This applies to any #tech in #oncology. In order to find ongoing and sustained success the #human connection must be maintained. Thanks for forwarding this important work @crisbergerot#TOeJC
For older adults & patients with advanced disease, app-based interventions must be simple, accessible, and supportive. Large fonts, intuitive design, training, and caregiver support help engagement, while symptom-focused features keep patients connected & empowered #TOeJC
