Research summary
AI-generated

Shelley A. Johns studies psychological and behavioral support for people living with serious illnesses such as cancer and dementia, as well as their family caregivers. Much of the work tests interventions like acceptance and commitment therapy (a form of talk therapy) and mindfulness-based approaches to help patients cope with fear of cancer recurrence, fatigue, and emotional distress. The research also involves developing and validating questionnaires and mobile-health tools to measure and improve well-being.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
