An Intervention to Help Patients and Caregivers Manage Stress and Improve Communication Skills When Talking About Cancer

"The current intervention consists of seven, weekly,45-minute sessions conducted over the telephone using the TAC manual workbook. MSK-approved platforms (such as Webex or Cisco Jabber) can be used for telephone calls in this study. There will be two versions of the intervention used for this study:~1. A culturally tailored version for Latinx participants refined during Phase 1 of this study (available in English and Spanish)~2. A version of the intervention that was not culturally tailored for Latinx patients and caregivers developed in previous work. The two interventions differ in minor content areas. The culturally tailored intervention for Latinx participants and the non-tailored intervention for non-Latinx participants will be used. Interventions will occur weekly with a plus three-week window.~Characteristics of prognostic discussions between patients and caregivers and health providers will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention."
