Stigma Healing Inventory Evaluation

9 ноября 2026 г. обновлено: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Investigators want to learn more about the way stigma affects children with cancer and their caregivers. They hope to develop an intervention to lessen stigma for children with cancer and their caregivers in settings around the world.

Обзор исследования

Подробное описание

Primary Objective 1

  • Characterize stigma, including assessment of prevalence of different aspects across three domains and risk factors in diverse pediatric cancer populations.

Primary Objective 2

  • Develop and adapt an intervention to improve stigma for children with cancer and their caregivers globally.

Primary Objective 3

  • Pilot the preliminary efficacy, feasibility, appropriateness, and acceptability of a patient intervention program to reduce stigma for childhood cancer patients and their caregivers.

The investigators anticipate approximately 1,400 patient enrollees and 1,400 caregiver enrollees (2,800 total) for Aim 1 and 90 dyads (180 total) for Aim 3.

Aim 1:

Approximately 80-100 patients and 80-100 caregivers will be enrolled from each participating center, leading to 1,120-1,400 2,240-2,800 enrollees.

The KidsCanShine and the CaregiversCanShine survey tools will be administered two times to participants. The survey will be administered verbally, on an iPad, or via survey link based on a combination of site resources and preferences, as well as patient preference and abilities. After the first timepoint, participants will remain enrolled in the study for six months. Six months (+/- 1 month) after initial enrollment and survey completion, study team members will reach out to patients and their caregivers and ask them to complete the same survey at this second time point. At the conclusion of this second survey, participants will be finished with the study.

Aim 2 does not involve participant interaction. The goal of this Aim is to develop the intervention that will be randomized and delivered to participants during Aim 3.

Aim 3: Investigators will pilot the stigma reduction intervention and test its preliminary efficacy. In this clustered randomized control trial (RCT), investigators will compare 3 sites randomized to the fully developed intervention and 3 sites randomized to education only, delivered via patient referral to the Together platform and provision of Together educational materials. The 6 sites will be determined based on the results of Aim 1 and site interest.

The intervention will include multiple sessions, group and individual, covering various components aligned with our conceptual model and the domains assessed via KidsCanSHINE and CaregiversCanSHINE. Sessions will include beliefs and myths, cancer education, disclosure, mindfulness, and storytelling. Core components will be fixed across sites; however, there will be an opportunity to contextually specify certain content (e.g., regarding local myths). The intervention will also include the existing Together by St. Jude platform, a comprehensive multilingual online educational platform for pediatric cancer. In addition to general pediatric cancer education, this platform contains material on myth busting, storytelling. and narrative medicine. Existing material and the Together team's support will be used to develop additional stigma-tailored content as needed. The Together platform will be used in the intervention and serve as the education control in Aim 3, due to its wide accessibility in 12 languages.

Patients and clinicians who complete the intervention, will also be asked to complete three validated survey measures. These are the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM), Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM), and Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM).

Interviews will be done with patients and clinicians involved in Aim 3. Interviews will be individual and will look at the experiences of the intervention and stigma in pediatric cancer.

Временное ограничение
Mean change in patient stigma score from baseline to six months as reported by the KidsCanSHINE tool
Временное ограничение: Baseline and at 6 months (+/- 1 month)

KidsCanSHINE survey tool inquires about the experience of stigma in multiple dimensions and about related patient reported quality of life metrics, information on their diagnosis and treatment course, perceptions of care quality, and demographic information (sex, age, school information, treating institution), This tool uses a 5-point Likert scale and stigma will be assessed across 3 domains. The scale has a range from 1 to 5. Selecting 1 indicates "Almost never" and selecting 5 indicates "Almost always." Higher scores indicate higher levels of stigma.

Feasibility of Intervention
Временное ограничение: Post intervention (intervention will last 4-6 weeks), and six months after intervention (+/- 1 month)

Participants and clinicians who complete the intervention will be asked to complete the Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM). The FIM is used to assess how feasible it is to implement a specific intervention. The FIM measure includes four itemized responses that are scored from one to five (1=Completely disagree, 2=Disagree, 3=Neither agree nor disagree, 4=Agree, 5=Completely agree). Higher scores indicate greater perceived feasibility of the intervention.

Временное ограничение: Post intervention (intervention will last 4-6 weeks), and six months after intervention (+/- 1 month)

Participants and clinicians who complete the intervention will be asked to complete the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM). The AIM is a four-item scale used to assess the acceptability of an intervention. It includes four itemized responses that are scored from one to five (1=Completely disagree, 2=Disagree, 3=Neither agree nor disagree, 4=Agree, 5=Completely agree). Higher scores indicating greater acceptability.

Post intervention (intervention will last 4-6 weeks), and six months after intervention (+/- 1 month)
Appropriateness of Intervention
Временное ограничение: Post intervention (intervention will last 4-6 weeks), and six months after intervention (+/- 1 month)

Participants and clinicians who complete the intervention will be asked to complete the Appropriateness Measure (IAM). The Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) is a four-item scale used to assess the appropriateness of interventions by capturing individual perspectives on the alignment of the intervention with professional values and perceived efficacy in meeting patient needs. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1=Completely disagree, 2=Disagree, 3=Neither agree nor disagree, 4=Agree, 5=Completely agree). A higher score on the IAM indicates a stronger perception that the intervention is appropriate for the given situation and context.

Post intervention (intervention will last 4-6 weeks), and six months after intervention (+/- 1 month)
Qualitative Interviews
Временное ограничение: Within 4 weeks of the final component of the intervention

The investigators will conduct a qualitative assessment on experiences of the intervention and stigma in pediatric cancer. Audio recordings of qualitative data will be translated and transcribed into English. Transcripts will be de-identified, segmented, and uploaded to MAXQDA for analysis.

Within 4 weeks of the final component of the intervention
