Developing Evidence-Based Cognitive Approaches to Improve Adjustment to Vision Loss

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this study is to develop and pilot test a therapeutic strategy combining cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with mindfulness practices tailored for individuals adjusting to vision loss. The study will begin with focus groups to inform the design of the intervention. Participants will complete brief surveys on their background and experiences with vision loss prior to attending a focus group, and some may be invited to a second session to provide additional feedback before preliminary testing begins. In the pilot phase, participants will attend weekly group therapy sessions using the developed intervention and complete assessments before and after the program, including questions about vision status, demographics, and experiences with vision loss.
