Summary
This study tests whether an AI-assisted expressive writing program can reduce anxiety, emotional distress, and improve quality of life in adults receiving chemotherapy for any type of cancer. Participants are randomly assigned to either use the AI writing tool alongside their usual care or receive standard care alone. Researchers measure changes in anxiety and quality-of-life scores, and also interview participants about their experience with the intervention.
