  • Technical description (Original)

This study investigates a spiritual care intervention for adults with advanced cancer and their caregivers. The study focuses on four areas of spiritual experience: meaning and purpose, relationships, transcendence and peace, and self-worth and identity. Advanced cancer refers to cancer that is in a late stage and is not curable.

Participants will complete questionnaires and engage in four sessions with research chaplains. These sessions will explore the spiritual areas mentioned and provide support to both patients and their caregivers.

  • Who can participate: Adults aged 18 and older with incurable, advanced stage cancer, such as lung or colorectal cancer, receiving care at IU Simon Cancer Center can participate. They must consent, have a reliable phone, and participate in four sessions. A caregiver, also at least 18 years old and meeting similar criteria, must be involved.
  • Study details: Participants will complete questionnaires about their experiences. A placebo is not involved in this study.
  • Study Visits: The study requires 4 visits.
