Study Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies how well acceptance and commitment therapy works in improving well-being in patients with stage III-IV cancer and their partners. Learning how to accept negative thoughts and feelings and how to live in the present without worrying about the future or past may improve coping skills in patients with stage III-IV cancer and their partners.

Primary Outcome

Pre-post changes will be examined using t-tests in the primary outcomes as well as the mechanisms of change (e.g., flexibility, avoidance self-disclosure). Because this is primarily a pilot and feasibility study and not an efficacy test, these data will be used primarily to examine whether an impact on distress and well-being was made but statistical significance will not be the primary aim.
