Study Protocol: Culturally Based Writing Intervention for Chinese Immigrant Breast Cancer Survivors
Practical Solutions and Value
This study aims to test the health benefits of expressive writing tailored for Chinese immigrant breast cancer survivors (BCSs) and explore how acculturation influences the effects of these interventions.
Practical Solutions:
- Recruitment through community-based organizations and cancer registries
- Random assignment to control or intervention groups
- Interventions focus on promoting adaptive cognitive processes
- Writing sessions in preferred language for three 30-minute sessions
- Primary outcome: quality of life at 6- and 12-month follow-ups
- Secondary outcomes: perceived stress, stress biomarkers, and medical appointments
Value:
- First large RCT testing culturally adapted interventions for Chinese immigrant BCSs
- Addresses unmet psychological needs and lack of culturally competent mental health care
- Empirically evaluated, culturally responsive interventions ready for dissemination
