Interventions

  • Thinking out Loud Session — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will complete one thinking out loud session (approx. 60 minutes). The session will be led by a yoga therapist (see below) either in person at the hospital or via Zoom. Individual patients, caregivers or patient-caregiver dyads will attend the session. Each participant will need to either bring their own device or will use an institutional loaner device if no personal device is available. During the session, participants will be asked to download the app from the device appropriate app store and open the app. Then, we will implement the thinking out loud methods asking participants to continuously think out loud, meaning verbalizing their thoughts as they move through the user interface of the app. The sessions will be audio recorded with permission obtained during the consent process. Specific feedback will be requested using a semi-structured interview approach

Study Details

The goal of the trial is to test the usability, feasibility and acceptability of an unsupervised, appbased yoga program for participants undergoing thoracic RT and their caregivers.
