Coping skills training and acceptance and commitment therapy for symptom management: Feasibility and acceptability of a brief telephone-delivered protocol for patients with advanced cancer.
Abstract
Patients with advanced cancer face a life-limiting condition that brings a high symptom burden that often includes pain, fatigue, and psychological distress. Psychosocial interventions have promise for managing symptoms, but need additional tailoring for these patients' specific needs. Patients with advanced cancer in the community also face persistent barriers – availability of interventions in community clinics, financial and illness-related factors – to accessing psychosocial interventions.
