NCT ID NCT07567157
First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study explores whether a simple writing exercise can help people living with or after cancer feel better emotionally. Participants will write about their cancer experience in four sessions, either with a compassionate prompt or a standard one. Researchers will measure changes in self-compassion, quality of life, and overall well-being. The goal is to see if this low-cost, self-guided activity can ease the emotional burden of cancer.
