AI-Integrated Emotional Granularity Training for Resilience and Quality of Life in Colorectal Cancer Survivors
Development and Evaluation of an AI-Integrated Emotional Granularity Growth (AI-EGG) on Enhancing Resilience and Improving Quality of Life in Young and Middle-Aged Colorectal Cancer Survivors
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate an AI-integrated Emotional Granularity Growth intervention (AI-EGG) designed to enhance resilience and improve quality of life in young and middle-aged colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors. Emotional granularity refers to the ability to clearly identify and differentiate subtle emotional experiences, which may help individuals regulate emotions more effectively and build resilience after cancer treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the AI-EGG intervention improve resilience in CRC survivors compared with routine psychological care? * Does the intervention improve emotional granularity, emotion regulation ability, and quality of life? * Is the AI-EGG intervention feasible and acceptable for young and middle-aged CRC survivors? Researchers will compare the AI-EGG intervention group to a control group receiving routine psychological care and standard educational materials to see whether the intervention leads to better psychological outcomes. Participants will: * Complete baseline assessments measuring emotional granularity, emotion regulation, resilience, and quality of life * Be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group * In the intervention group, engage in a 4-week AI chatbot-based program focusing on emotional identification, differentiation, regulation, and reflective practice (at least two sessions per week) * In the control group, receive routine psychological care and standard educational materials * Complete post-intervention assessments immediately after the 4-week program and again at a 1-month follow-up * Some participants in the intervention group will be invited to complete interviews about their experience of the program
