The goal of this pilot, feasibility study is to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary impact of a finance-specific psycho-oncology intervention, as well as to explore perceptions of and experiences with this financial psycho-oncology intervention for patients with cancer experiencing financial hardship. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Is this financial psycho-oncology intervention feasible, acceptable, and appropriate for patients with cancer experiencing financial hardship?
2. How can we refine the financial psycho-oncology intervention to best address financial distress for patients with cancer experiencing financial hardship?
Patients enrolled in the intervention will receive 2, 60-minute long, finance-specific psycho-oncology sessions per month over the course of 3 months, for a total of 6 sessions over the course of the intervention. Patients will complete surveys during intervention enrollment and after intervention completion to assess secondary outcomes of financial hardship, psychological distress, stress, and anxiety. Individuals who consent to the financial psycho-oncology intervention will also be invited to participate in a 30-minute semi-structured interview to explore their perceptions of and experiences with the financial psycho-oncology intervention, including concepts of participation and engagement, relevance and acceptability, content and understanding, logistics and practicality, and potential impact.
