Abstract
Purpose/Objectives The purpose of this study was to transcreate a manualized cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention to address depression and anxiety among Hispanic cancer survivors. Design/Research Approach Stakeholders reviewed the CBT workbook for language, content, and cultural relevance. We designed semi-structured interview guides to elicit intervention feedback. Sample/Participants Stakeholder participants were Hispanic cancer survivors (n = 4), bilingual mental health providers (n = 2), and oncology professionals (n = 4). Methods Transcreation was conducted by initial translation of the workbook followed by incorporation of stakeholder feedback. A bilingual (Spanish and English) interviewer conducted stakeholder interviews. The study team discussed themes/suggestions before refining the workbook. Findings Stakeholders reported enthusiasm for the intervention. We gathered significant feedback regarding wording, images, and resources for the workbook. Conclusion Development of culturally appropriate mental health resources for Hispanic cancer survivors is critical. Implications for Psychosocial Providers or Policy By broadening research on psychosocial care to the Hispanic population, we increase the reach of evidence-based psychological care. Future research should fully evaluate the adapted CBT intervention among Hispanic survivors.
