Resilient living program for patients with advanced cancer and their caregivers
Participation in the RLP was feasible and acceptable for patients with advanced cancer and their caregivers. Participants tended to indicate that the practices were easy to integrate into their everyday lives, engendered their ability to focus on the positive, and would recommend the RLP to other individuals living with advanced cancer. Preliminary effectiveness data suggest the program may positively impact anxiety, stress, QOL, sleep, resiliency, and fatigue. A larger randomized clinical trial is warranted to confirm these preliminary findings.
