Funded Activity Summary

Although a cancer diagnosis and treatment have profound effects on both patients and their partners, most supportive care interventions target patients, whilst neglecting partners. To address this gap, our team is developing a Coping-Together intervention, which includes a novel, self-directed coping skills training workbook to assist couples affected by cancer manage common challenges post-diagnosis. This study will examine the efficacy of the Coping-Together intervention in decreasing couples’ anxiety at 2, 5, 9, and 12 months post-baseline.
