Funded Activity Summary
Meeting the needs of cancer support group leaders. Social support plays a pivotal role in the psychological adjustment of people with cancer. Support groups provide unique input, but their outcomes are reliant on the quality and sustainability of the leaders. Internationally, little is known about the challenges and unmet needs of cancer support group leaders, or how to best support them. This study will: a) clarify the needs of cancer group leaders b) design and evaluate two interventions (minimal and intense) to meet the needs of leaders. If successful, this study will provide the evidence on which cancer organizations around the world can base interventions to sustain cancer support group leaders and thus hopefully improve psychological outcomes for cancer patients and their carers.Funded Activity Details
