The purpose of this study is to learn more about the content of and benefits of making video testimonials in adolescents with cancer.

Read the detailed description

The current research aims to:

  1. enlist teens with cancer to produce video narratives about their experiences with their illness B. explicitly characterize and investigate the videos' content and C. determine what aspects of the production were helpful to the teen making them and predicted to be helpful to those watching them.
Being tested
Video narrative, PedsQL, Ten Item Personality Inventory, Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) Verbal Fluency Test, The Cognitive Log

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Video narrativeBehavioural

    create a 10-15 minute video intervention about teen experiences after being diagnosed with cancer

  • PedsQLBehavioural

    Also called Pediatric quality of life

    A generic 23-item Health Related Quality of Life measure initially developed using pediatric cancer patients

  • Ten Item Personality InventoryBehavioural

    Also called TIPI

    The TIPI consists of ten items and measures personality based the subject's agreement of descriptions of themselves taken from the Big-5 model of personality

  • Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) Verbal Fluency TestBehavioural

    The D-KEFS Verbal Fluency Test consists of three subtests, which take approximately 6 minutes to complete

  • The Cognitive LogBehavioural

    Also called Cog-Log

    The Cog-Log is a 5-10 minute assessment designed to measure basic cognitive functioning and orientation

Study groups in NCT03127254
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Video Narrative with surveysExperimentalParticipants will be asked to create a 10-15 minute video narrative on their experiences after being diagnosed with cancer. Participants will also be asked to complete surveys including pediatric quality of life (PedsQL), Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI), Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) Verbal Fluency Test, and The Cognitive Log (Cog-Log)
Receives: Behavioral: Video narrative; Behavioral: PedsQL; Behavioral: Ten Item Personality Inventory; Behavioral: Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) Verbal Fluency Test; Behavioral: The Cognitive Log

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. linear regression of pediatric quality of life (PedsQL), TIPI, and coded themes from video narratives on coherence, subjectivity and redemption

    Participants' composite scores of the 10 items that make up the emotional and social domains from the PedsQL, 15 items from the PedsQL cancer module, and the two items on the TIPI that measure Extroversion will positively covary with the resilient qualities of their narrative as measured by levels of narrative coherence, subjectivity, and redemption

    Measured: at end of intervention - Approximately 60 minutes after enrolling on study

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. linear regression of coded resilient qualities of narrative with Post Video Impression Questionnaire

    Resilient qualities of the narrative, as measured by levels of narrative coherence, subjectivity, and redemption, will predict the sum of 16 select items on the Post Video Impressions Questionnaire identifying positive impact associated with producing the narrative

    Measured: at end of intervention - Approximately 60 minutes after enrolling on study

  2. linear regression of impact experienced from making the video narrative with summed scores of participants willingness to post online

    The sum of the 16 item composite scale measuring impact experienced from making the testimonial video, on the Post Video Impressions Questionnaire, will positively predict the summed scores of two items measuring participants' willingness to post the video online

    Measured: at end of intervention - Approximately 60 minutes after enrolling on study

  3. linear regression of perceived impact with summed scores of participants willingness to post the video online

    The sum of the 7 item composite scale measuring the perceived impact on others who watch the video, on the Post Video Impressions Questionnaire, will positively predict the summed scores of two items measuring participants' willingness to post the video online

    Measured: at end of intervention - Approximately 60 minutes after enrolling on study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Video narrative, PedsQL and Ten Item Personality Inventory in people with Pediatric Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

linear regression of pediatric quality of life (PedsQL), TIPI, and coded themes from video narratives on coherence, subjectivity and redemption (time frame: at end of intervention - Approximately 60 minutes after enrolling on study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Apr 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
