Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| A week before participants start with ESM, they will complete several baseline questionnaires. During a two-week period participants are asked to complete ESM eight times per day via an app on their phone. Positive affect, negative affect, daily life events, predictors (i.e. fatigue, pain, emotion regulation and coping), and contextual predictors (i.e. location and company) will be measured in these ESM items. Analyses will be conducted separately for two resilience outcomes (recovery and reward experience). For each model, potential predictors (baseline predictors, momentary predictors, contextual predictors) will be entered as moderators. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary objective in this study is to explore whether reward response despite adversity (i.e. advanced cancer diagnosis) predicts low psychosocial distress (symptoms of depression and anxiety) and more illness acceptance, tolerance of uncertainty, mindfulness, optimism and perceived social support a year after measuring resilience in daily life. To explore this, participants will complete a follow-up questionnaire approximately a year after completing the ESM items. This questionnaire contains items about psychosocial distress, illness acceptance, tolerance of uncertainty, mindfulness, optimism, and perceived social support. | — |
