|---|---|
|
Eksperimentel: Cancer survivors
Adult survivors of any kind of cancer (except for minor skin cancer) are eligible to participate
|
During this daylong expressive writing workshop intervention, the writing instructor coached participants through a series of simple writing exercises.
Participation required neither any prior writing experience, nor any desire to become a writer.
The practices cultivate natural abilities to express the ideas that define who you are and how you experience your life.

Post-writing survey
Tidsramme: 1 day (collected during the 1-day intervention)
|
This five-question survey is used after each writing exercise to measure how respondents reflect on their writing.
This survey asks participants to respond to the first four questions using a 10-point Likert-type scale endorsing the degree to which each item reflects their thoughts and feeling about their writing.
The fifth question asks for a free-response reflection on how they think and feel about how their writing went.

The QOL-CSV is a 41-item ordinal scale measuring quality of life as a cancer patient that originated in use for pain research and was recently adapted for use in long-term cancer survivorship.
This survey asks participants to measure their quality of life in terms of the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions of well-being.
