About this trial

The primary goal of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of a 14-day mobile daily diary study among racially diverse breast cancer survivors. Further, the investigators will examine the validity and reliability of the daily stress and daily cognitive performance measures among breast cancer survivors. This pilot project will recruit 30 racially diverse breast cancer survivors (Asian, Black, Latina, and white; ages 40 and older; at least five years post-diagnosis) who are patients at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center. The daily diary survey questions will be available in English, Spanish, and Chinese to accommodate the preferred language of the target participants.

  • Mobile Daily Diary

    Behavioral

    This study will include a 14-day daily diary survey in which participants will be expected to complete morning (\~5 minutes) and night (\~10 minutes) assessments using mobile phones provided by the research team.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Completion rate of the 14-day mobile daily diary survey

The feasibility of the mobile daily diary method will be based on calculating the percentage of completed daily diary surveys as well as percentages of completed morning and evening surveys. An accepted completion rate is predetermined at the level of 70% or higher

Time frame
Daily, from Day 2 through Day 15

Secondary outcomes

1

predictive validity of the Daily Inventory of Stressful Experiences (DISE)

Predictive validity of the daily stressor exposure and severity will be conducted by testing the within-person and between-person associations between daily stressor exposure and severity with daily negative and positive affect, daily cognitive performance, and daily cognitive problems.

Time frame
Daily, from Day 2 through Day 15
2

predictive validity of Ambulatory Cognitive Assessment measures

Construct validity of the daily cognitive assessment measures will be assessed by conducting a multilevel confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to assess the fit of our hypothesized measurement model.

Time frame
Twice Daily, from Day 2 through Day 15
3

internal reliability of Ambulatory Cognitive Assessment measures

Between-person reliability (higher intraclass correlation is expected, thus no calculation of within-person reliability) by calculating internal consistency (i.e., Cronbach's alpha) across all persons and days.

Time frame
Twice Daily, from Day 2 through Day 15
4

internal reliability of Cognitive Interference and Memory Lapses scale

Between-person reliability (higher intraclass correlation is expected, thus no calculation of within-person reliability) by calculating internal consistency (i.e., Cronbach's alpha) across all persons and days. PROMIS® v2.0 - Cognitive Function Scoring: * Raw Score Range: Varies by short form: * 4-item: 4-20 * 6-item: 6-30 * 8-item: 8-40 T-Score Range: \~22 to 65 * Mean: 50 * Standard Deviation: 10 Interpretation: * Higher scores indicate better cognitive function (i.e., less cognitive interference). * A T-score of 60 means one SD above average (better functioning); a T-score of 40 means one SD below average (more interference) Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Scoring: * Total Score Range: 0-30 * Cutoff for Normal Cognition: ≥26 Interpretation: * Higher scores indicate better memory and cognitive function. * Scores between 22-25 suggest mild cognitive impairment (MCI). * Scores below 22 may indicate more significant memory or cognitive issues

Time frame
Daily, from Day 2 through Day 15
