Compassion-Centered Spiritual Health program for oncology teams

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Emory investigators will randomize mixed-role oncology teams (8-12 employees per group, total n≈80) to a four-session Compassion-Centered Spiritual Health Team Intervention (CCSH-TI) delivered by healthcare chaplains or to treatment as usual. Sessions meet every other week for 60 minutes over 8 weeks, and the study uses mixed methods including self-report surveys and focus groups to measure feasibility and acceptability. The team will also collect ecological momentary assessments (EMA) and electronically activated recorder (EAR) data at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 12-weeks post-intervention to test low-burden ambulatory measurement approaches. Results will inform whether CCSH-TI is practical to deliver and measurable for a future larger randomized trial.
