Study Summary
This study is to assess the feasibility of using a positive activities intervention, Positive Piggy Bank, in newly diagnosed women with breast cancer who will soon undergo surgery. A randomized controlled pilot trial of a brief self-guided positive activities intervention, The Positive Piggy Bank (PPB), compared to Treatment as Usual. The PPB intervention involves noting at least one positive event each day, writing it down on a slip of paper and then depositing this piece of paper in a piggy bank. This practice is to take place at the end of the day, every day over a circumscribed period of time. At the end of the "deposit period," in the case of this study after approximately 21 days, the participant "closes the account" and makes a full withdrawal by taking all of the slips out of the piggy bank and reading each one on the night before surgery.
Primary Outcome
The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of using a positive activities intervention, Positive Piggy Bank, in newly diagnosed women with breast cancer who will soon undergo surgery. We will also explore changes in subjective well-being and post-surgical symptoms in response to the intervention in order to power a larger trial.
