Meaning-Centered Counseling for Chinese Patients Who Are Being Treated for Advanced Cancer (NCT02112188)
Adaptation of Individual Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy for Chinese Immigrant Cancer
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of the study is to modify a type of counseling called "Individual Meaning Centered Psychotherapy" to meet the needs of Chinese cancer patients. Many cancer patients use counseling or other resources to help cope with the emotional burden of their illnesses. Counseling often helps them cope with cancer by giving them a place to express their feelings. "Meaning-Centered" counseling aims to teach cancer patients how to maintain or even increase a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives, despite cancer.
