First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a 4-session resiliency program designed to help medical interpreters in cancer care manage stress and build coping skills. Twenty-eight interpreters from three hospitals took part in the program, which included relaxation techniques and cognitive skills training. The main goal was to see if the program was feasible and acceptable to participants, and to measure changes in stress and resilience.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Resiliency Intervention (CARE): a 4-hour behavioral session teaching relaxation, stress education, cognitive skills, and coping strategies
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could help reduce stress and improve well-being for medical interpreters working in cancer care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 28 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It does not test whether the program directly improves patient care.
