A Resilience-Based Approach to Improve Long-term Quality of Life in Post-treatment Lymphoma Survivorship

Thriving Beyond Treatment: A Resilience-Based Approach to Improve Long-term Quality of Life in Post-treatment Lymphoma Survivorship.

The goal of this trial is to learn if a resilience intervention can lead to improvements in lymphoma survivors' quality of life.

The Stress Management and Relaxation Response Resiliency Program for lymphoma survivors (SMART3RP-Lymphoma) was adapted by researchers at the MGH. This group program seeks to buffer stress and promote psychological resiliency and physical well-being through a variety of mind-body approaches, such as imagery, relaxation, and yoga, cognitive behavioral strategies, and positive psychology tools.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Will survivors randomized to SMART3RP-Lymphoma demonstrate greater improvements in quality of life when compared to survivors randomized to a Health Education Program?
• Will improvements in resiliency lead to improvements in quality of life?

To answer these questions, researchers will compare a resilience intervention tailored to the needs of lymphoma survivors (SMART3RP-Lymphoma) to a Health Education Program to see how they affect quality of life of lymphoma survivors.

Participants will:

• Fill out 4 surveys across 12 months
• Participate in 8 weekly, virtual group sessions
• Submit hair cortisol samples

Inclusion Criteria:

• English or Spanish speaking adults (18+ at time of enrollment)
• Within 2 years of completing active, curative treatment for lymphoma (includes surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, or other)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Active psychiatric or cognitive comorbidity as determined by the site PI or treating clinician
