移动的冥想应用程序可以为癌症患者/幸存者的持续症状管理提供长期，可访问和有效的解决方案。然而，目前还没有商业化的针对癌症的冥想应用程序，可以反映癌症专家的专业知识，癌症患者/幸存者的输入，以及针对癌症患者/幸存者需求的功能和内容。本研究的目的是从癌症患者/幸存者、医疗保健提供者和Calm（一种基于消费者的移动的冥想应用程序）的当前用户（他们是患者/幸存者）中获得洞察力（通过调查、每日期刊和焦点小组），以开发专门为癌症患者/幸存者设计的移动的冥想应用程序的原型。参与者是通过先前的合作伙伴关系、口碑推荐以及Facebook和Instagram上的招聘帖子招募的。癌症患者/幸存者和医疗保健提供者被要求下载并使用Calm应用程序，每天至少10分钟，持续7天，完成7天的在线日记，并参加虚拟焦点小组（一个针对癌症患者/幸存者，一个针对提供者）。目前Calm的癌症患者/幸存者用户完成了一项关于Calm应用程序不同方面的在线调查，并参加了第三个虚拟焦点小组。使用演绎和归纳编码的组合对数据进行定性分析。共有27名参与者（11名癌症患者/幸存者，10名医疗保健提供者，6名目前的Calm订户）完成了这项研究。在调查、日报和焦点小组中发现了类似的主题和子主题，并分为两大类，内容和功能，每个类别中确定了癌症特异性和非癌症特异性主题。出现的大多数内容偏好和建议都是针对癌症的，例如与负面情绪或感受有关的内容（例如，焦虑、悲伤、创伤/创伤后应激障碍、害怕复发、孤立）、积极的感觉和寻找意义（例如，感恩，讲故事，接受），场景和经验（例如，等待，治疗特定的调解），癌症旅程的类型和阶段，以及运动修改。应用程序内容下的一些非癌症特定主题包括睡眠，音乐和可视化。在应用程序功能方面，大多数参与者表示有兴趣拥有专门针对癌症患者/幸存者的应用程序部分/标签/区域。癌症特定功能的偏好和建议包括基于症状或旅程的选项，能够与其他患者或幸存者交流以分享特定冥想的建议，以及为患者/幸存者提供紧急工具包。来自癌症患者/幸存者、医疗保健提供者和当前Calm用户（他们是患者/幸存者）的研究结果将被纳入原型的开发中，分为两大类：（1）应用程序的内容和（2）应用程序的功能。原型的形式和功能将在为期4周的研究中在30名癌症患者/幸存者中进行试点测试，并且由此产生的可行性数据将用于通知最终应用程序设计和功效研究。
Mobile meditation apps may offer a long-term, accessible, and effective solution for ongoing symptom management in cancer patients/survivors. However, there are currently no commercial cancer-specific meditation apps that reflect cancer specialist expertise, input from cancer patients/survivors, and features and content specific to cancer patients’/survivors’ needs. The aim of this study was to gain insight (via surveys, daily journals, and focus groups) from cancer patients/survivors, health care providers, and current subscribers of Calm (a consumer-based mobile meditation app) who were patients/survivors to develop a prototype of a mobile meditation app specifically designed for cancer patients/survivors. Participants were recruited via prior partnerships, word-of-mouth referrals, and recruitment posts on Facebook and Instagram. Cancer patients/survivors and health care providers were instructed to download and use the Calm app for at least 10 minutes a day for 7 days, complete an online daily journal for 7 days, and participate in a virtual focus group (one for cancer patients/survivors and one for providers). Current Calm subscribers who were cancer patients/survivors completed an online survey about different aspects of the Calm app and participated in a third virtual focus group. Data were qualitatively analyzed using a combination of deductive and inductive coding. A total of 27 participants (11 cancer patients/survivors, 10 health care providers, 6 current Calm subscribers) completed the study. Similar themes and subthemes were found across surveys, daily journals, and focus groups, and fell into two major categories, content and functionality, with cancer-specific and noncancer-specific themes identified within each category. The majority of content preferences and suggestions that arose were cancer-specific, such as content related to negative emotions or feelings (eg, anxiety, grief, trauma/posttraumatic stress disorder, fear of recurrence, isolation), positive feelings and finding meaning (eg, gratitude, storytelling, acceptance), scenarios and experiences (eg, waiting, treatment-specific mediations), type and stage of cancer journey, and movement modifications. Some of the noncancer-specific themes under app content included sleep, music, and visualizations. In terms of app functionality, the majority of participants expressed interest in having a section/tab/area of the app that was specifically geared toward cancer patients/survivors. Preferences and suggestions for cancer-specific functionality features included options based on symptoms or journey, being able to communicate with other patients or survivors to share suggestions for specific meditations, and having an emergency toolkit for patients/survivors. Findings from cancer patients/survivors, health care providers, and current Calm subscribers who were patients/survivors to be incorporated into the development of the prototype fell into two major categories: (1) content of the app and (2) functionality of the app. The prototype’s form and function will be pilot-tested among 30 cancer patients/survivors in a 4-week study, and the resulting feasibility data will be used to inform the final app design and an efficacy study.
