Summary
This study tests whether a special type of counseling called hope-focused motivational interviewing can improve hope, self-confidence, and self-compassion in cancer patients who are getting radiation therapy. About 46 adults with early-stage cancer will be randomly assigned to receive either this counseling or standard care. The goal is to see if talking about hope can help patients feel better emotionally during treatment.
