Feasibility and Acceptability of a Positive Psychological Intervention for Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer: Pre-Post Pilot Study
This pilot study supports the feasibility of enrolling and retaining racially and ethnically diverse patients with MBC to this trial, the acceptability of the positive psychological intervention enhanced with ecological momentary intervention, and preliminary intervention impacts on depression, anxiety, positive affect, and positive emotion regulation skill use. A large-scale randomized controlled trial is needed to assess intervention efficacy for outcomes of interest.
