Summary
To evaluate the impact of an adapted online, self-help relationship intervention (supplemented with brief coach calls) for survivors of breast cancer and their partners. Couples will be randomized to receive either the online intervention (Together after Cancer) or usual care (UC) and assessed at baseline, end of the program, and 3 months after randomization.
Objective
To evaluate the impact of an adapted online, self-help relationship intervention (supplemented with brief coach calls) for survivors of breast cancer and their partners. Couples will be randomized to receive either the online intervention (Juntos Después del Cáncer; JDC) or usual care (UC) and assessed at baseline, end of the program, and 3 months after randomization.
Examine whether survivors with poorer baseline psychological functioning experience greater benefit from the JDC intervention.
Examine both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the JDC intervention to maximize patient centeredness and opportunities for patient involvement in intervention development.
