Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This investigation seeks to determine the feasibility of an electronic diary methodology among pediatric cancer patients and healthy matched controls. Levels of study participation and compliance will be assessed to assist with determining overall feasibility. Results will offer insight into the effectiveness of this means of data collection with a pediatric oncology population, and will examine how psychosocial and contextual factors contribute to the resiliency that has been demonstrated by children with cancer. Findings will provide data for the design and implementation of a future, larger-scale study with this pediatric population that implements an electronic daily diary methodology.
