Summary

This study tested a 3-week program that helps cancer patients identify their personal strengths (like hobbies, social support, or personal qualities) and use them to cope better. 32 adults with different cancers took part in card-sorting sessions, phone calls, and home exercises. The goal was to see if the program was acceptable and could improve emotional well-being, fatigue, and mood.
