To examine the feasibility and acceptability of chaplain-clinician led spiritual care (PEACE: Perception, Exploring, Addressing, Compassionate Connection, Embracing) intervention in patients with advanced cancer.
Primary Objectives
(Phase 1): To examine the feasibility and acceptability of a Chaplain-Clinician led spiritual care (PEACE: Perception, Exploring, Addressing, Compassionate Connection, Embracing) intervention in patients with advanced cancer admitted to a comprehensive cancer center in a single-arm pilot trial. Evaluation of feasibility will be per ≥70% participation in all sessions.
Acceptability will be assessed as ≥70% reporting satisfaction and ≥70% recommending PEACE intervention to others at the post-treatment assessment.
(Phase 2): To examine the within-group change in the influence of spiritual/religious beliefs on medical care (Question 2 in the Religious Beliefs in End-of-Life Medical Care [RBEC] tool: I will accept every possible medical treatment because my faith tells me to do everything I can to stay alive longer) from baseline to post-intervention assessments at 2 + 1 days in participants who participate in the PEACE intervention group and the usual care group.
