Malignant Solid Neoplasm
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to pilot a beta version of a digital resource that supports the religious and spiritual beliefs of cancer patients, MyInspiration.After receiving a cancer diagnosis, survivors are encouraged to make major life-altering decisions related to their treatment and care. The availability of spiritual/religious resources during cancer treatment may positively impact patient outcomes, feelings of well-being, and be essential components of holistic, patient-centered care. MyInspiration is a digital tool focused on spiritual and/or religious guidance and support that can be customized based on patient preferences and administered to cancer patients and their family members during cancer treatment. MyInspiration may help improve spiritual well-being in patients with cancer.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility of MyInspiration:Data Collection | Up to 30 days | Feasibility will be assessed by completion rates of both the baseline and follow-up measures |
| Acceptability of MyInspiration | Up to 30 days | Acceptability will be assessed by study attrition rates. |
| General satisfaction of MyInspiration | Up to 30 days | General Satisfaction will be assessed using an investigator-created 6-item scale assessing participants experience with MyInspo overall and its specific components |
| Feasibility of MyInspiration:Recruitment | Up to 30 days | Feasibility will be assessed by ratio of patients that enroll of the patients that indicate interest in the study |

| Spiritual well-being | Up to 30 days | Spiritual well-being will be assessed using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Spiritual Well-Being, the Meaning of Cancer Subscale from the Impact of Cancer scale, and 1-item assessing spiritual distress. The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Spiritual Well-Being is a 12-item scale with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 48; higher scores indicate a greater sense of spiritual well-being. |
| Decisional regret | Up to 30 days | Decisional regret will be assessed post cancer-directed surgery using The Decisional Regret Scale.Items will also be adapted from scales developed by Clark et al. regarding the perceptions of one's treatment decisions, their outcomes, and the inherent uncertainty of decision making and cancer control. |
