Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal participants are English-speaking clinicians aged 18 or older who work with ovarian cancer patients (gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, nurses, social workers, and advanced practice providers) and can provide informed consent.

Probably not a fit

Clinicians who do not work with ovarian cancer patients, who cannot participate in brief weekly sessions, or who are non-English speakers may not receive benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies

The protocol adapts the Helping Ovarian Cancer Patients Cope (HOPE) workshop for clinicians, focusing on narrative reframing, peer support, and meaning-making. Clinicians first review intervention materials and provide feedback via interviews and questionnaires during a development phase. A pilot phase has participants attend four weekly 30–45 minute HOPE-C sessions and complete questionnaires before and after the sessions. Participants may also be interviewed after completing the intervention to gather qualitative feedback.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the intervention could lower clinician burnout and improve well-being, which may indirectly improve patient care and reduce errors.

How similar studies have gone: The original HOPE workshop has shown positive effects on hope and coping in ovarian cancer patients, and narrative or peer-support approaches have shown some success reducing clinician burnout, but applying HOPE to clinicians is a novel adaptation with limited prior testing.
