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.

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.
