This Phase I project will investigate the feasibility of utilizing the medium of spoken audio to introduce cancer patients to mind/body (behavioral) approaches to cancer survivorship, including stress management, relaxation techniques, cognitive therapy and group support. Mind/body techniques will be described as complementary to, not alternatives for, medical treatment. Cancer patients will listen and react to a pilot audiotape developed by an experienced public radio production company. The audio presentation will feature health professionals skilled in mind/body interventions as well as cancer survivors who have experienced such interventions. A Phase I evaluation will determine the pilot's comprehensibility and appeal as well as its impact upon listeners' knowledge and attitudes. In Phase II, a series of audio productions, conveying mind/body strategies for cancer, will be developed and tested with different populations. The particular characteristics of the listening experience for patients and others will be investigated. The audio programming will eventually be released for national broadcast on public radio and also be made available to cancer patients via cassette tape, compact disc, internet audio and other media. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: Licensing of audio product for national radio broadcast; sale of audio cassettes to oncology clinics, public health agencies, libraries, counseling centers; dissemination and sale through internet audio channels.

这个第一阶段的项目将研究利用语音媒介向癌症患者介绍心理/身体（行为）方法的可行性，包括压力管理，放松技术，认知疗法和团体支持。身心技术将被描述为医学治疗的补充，而不是替代。癌症患者将聆听由一家经验丰富的公共广播制作公司开发的试听磁带，并做出反应。音频介绍将邀请精通身心干预的卫生专业人员以及经历过这种干预的癌症幸存者。第一阶段的评估将确定试点的可理解性和吸引力，以及它对听众的知识和态度的影响。在第二阶段，将开发一系列音频产品，传达针对癌症的身心策略，并在不同人群中进行测试。患者和其他人的聆听体验的特殊特征将被调查。该音频节目最终将在全国公共广播电台播出，还将通过盒式磁带、光盘、互联网音频和其他媒体向癌症患者提供。建议的商业用途：国家广播电台音频产品的许可；向肿瘤诊所、公共卫生机构、图书馆、咨询中心销售录音带；通过互联网音频渠道传播和销售。
