Change in mood
We will use the NCCN distress thermometer before and after the creative work intervention to assess distress. For those patients who indicate high feelings of depression, their mood would be dealt with in accordance with clinic practice. The Distress Thermometer measures distress on a 0 to 10 scale. To report your distress, circle the number that matches your level of distress in the past week. The Problem List includes problems from 5 areas of life: practical, family, emotional, spiritual/religious, and physical problems. The higher the score the more distress experienced in that domain.
Time frame: Baseline, after music intervention approximately 20 minutes
Change in pain level
A 0-10 Likert Pain scale will be used. 0 = No Pain, 10 = Worst Pain Imaginable
Time frame: Baseline, after music intervention approximately 20 minutes
