RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help in learning how well radiation therapy and chemotherapy work in killing tumor cells and allow doctors to plan better treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying MRI scans to see how well they evaluate the effects of radiation therapy and chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme or anaplastic glioma.
NCT03473886
Specific Aim #1 (Feasibility; primary aim): To assess the feasibility of the positive psychology (PP)-motivational interviewing (MI) group-based physical activity intervention and outcome assessments in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Hypothesis: The PP exercises and MI-based goal-setting sessions will be feasible: most (≥50%) of participants will complete 6/8 exercises/sessions. Furthermore, we will be able to obtain objective physical activity measurement follow-up data from at least 80% of enrolled participants at 8 weeks. Specific Aim #2 (Acceptability): To assess whether the intervention is acceptable to participants, as measured by ratings provided after each PP and MI exercise. Hypothesis: The intervention will be acceptable: participants will rate each PP and MI exercise with a mean score of at least 7 out of 10 on ratings of ease of completion and helpfulness. Specific Aim #3 (Outcomes): To assess whether this preliminary intervention appears to result in improvement of physical activity, related health behaviors (sedentary time, diet quality), and psychological well-being (optimism, positive affect, anxiety, depression). Hypothesis: The intervention will lead to improvements in physical activity, related health behaviors, optimism and positive affect, and reductions in depression and anxiety at 8 weeks compared to baseline.
