Primary | Participants who met inclusion criteria compared to participants approached | Percentage of women who meet the inclusion criteria relative to the number of women approached. | 8 months | |
Primary | Participant completion of baseline assessment measures | Percentage of participants completing baseline assessment measures. | Week 0 | |
Primary | Participant completion of both baseline assessments and post-intervention assessments | Percentage of participants who completed baseline assessments and completed the post-intervention assessments. | Week 0, Week 8 | |
Primary | Treatment satisfaction using Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) | We will assess treatment satisfaction using the mean Client Satisfaction Questionnaire(CSQ-8) scores. An overall score is calculated by summing the respondent's rating score for each scale item. Scores range from 8 to 32, with higher values indicating higher satisfaction. | Week 8 | |
Secondary | Change in dispositional gratitude from baseline to post-intervention | The effect size of dispositional gratitude measured at week 0/baseline and post-intervention/week 8 will be measured using the Gratitude Questionnaire-6 designed to measure four facets of dispositional gratitude: (a) intensity, (b) frequency, (c) span, and (d) density. Each item is rated on a 7-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). Higher scores mean higher dispositional gratitude. | Week 0, Week 8 | |
Secondary | Change in spiritual well-being from baseline to post-intervention | The effect size of spiritual well-being baseline/week 0 and post-intervention/week 8 will be measured using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Spiritual Well-Being 12 Item Scale designed to assess spiritual well-being over the past seven days in a population with a chronic illness. Items are rated on a Likert-type scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Higher scores indicate enhanced spiritual well-being. | Week 0, Week 8 | |
Secondary | Change in Distress from baseline to post-intervention | The effect size of distress baseline/week 0 and post-intervention/week 8 will be measured using the Perceived Stress Scale designed to measure stress during the last month. The scale consists of 10 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (very often) during the last month. Higher scores indicate more distress during the last month. | Week 0, Week 8 | |
Secondary | Change in Superwoman schema (racial and gender identity) from baseline to post-intervention | The effect size of the Superwoman schema baseline/week 0 and post-intervention/week 8 will be measured using the Giscombe Superwoman Schema Questionnaire developed to measure components prominent in the superwoman schema construct. The Giscombe Superwoman Schema Questionnaire (G-SWS-Q) was developed to measure components prominent in the superwoman schema construct. It contains 35 statements rated from 0 (not true) to 4 (true all the time) across the 5 subscales of (1) obligation to present an image of strength, (2) obligation to suppress emotions, (3) resistance to being vulnerable, (4) intense motivation to succeed and (5) obligation to help others. Higher scores indicate higher agreement with the identity. | Week 0, Week 8 | |
Secondary | Change in Exercise readiness from baseline to post-intervention | The effect size of exercise readiness baseline/week 0 and post-intervention/week 8 will be measured using the Stage of Motivational Readiness for Physical Activity questionnaire, a highly reliable instrument with items that classify a person as being in the pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, or maintenance stage of exercise behavior change based on the selection by the participant. | Week 0, Week 8 | |
Secondary | Change in Inflammatory biomarkers from baseline to post-intervention | The effect size of inflammatory biomarkers baseline/week 0 and post-intervention/week 8 will be measured using a Luminex panel containing Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-a), Interleukin 6 (IL-6), Growth/Differentiation Factor-15 (GDF15), and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit containing C-Reactive Protein. | Week 0, Week 8 |
