The goal of this feasibility trial is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of
implementing a brief evidence-based psychotherapeutic intervention, Managing Cancer And
Living Meaningfully (CALM), at the time of a new diagnosis and recurrence of ovarian
cancer (OC).
The main questions are:
1. Is it feasible and acceptable to implement CALM for patients with newly diagnosed or
recently recurred advanced OC
2. What are the prevalence and correlates of traumatic stress symptoms at baseline in
patients with newly diagnosed or recently recurred advanced OC
Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires at baseline and at 3 and 6 months
following a diagnosis or recurrence of stage III or IV OC. Participants will also be
invited to participate in 3-6 sessions of CALM therapy.
