ecognition has been growing that the experience of
cancer couples is complex and relationships are dynamic.
Faced with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, cancer
couples may find their relationship coming under great
strain. An intervention is needed to support cancer dyads
cope with the illness. Based on the previous study on the
development and pilot study of a complex intervention:
“caring for couples coping with cancer, ‘4Cs’” programme,
the project was designed to develop and evaluate a
Couples Coping Focused intervention model to support
couples coping with colorectal cancer as dyads (4Cs: CRC
program). A mixed-methods design that includes qualitative
and quantitative approaches will be used. Firstly, the
programme will be developed based on the experience
of colorectal cancer couples living with cancer and their
supportive needs, and guided by a Preliminary Live with Love
Conceptual Framework (P-LLCF) for Cancer Couple Dyads.
The developed 4Cs: CRC program includes three modules,
focusing on the couple’s dyadic level, individual level, and
health professional training. To facilitate the feasibility of the
programme, a tailored web-based intervention model will
also be designed based on the contents. Then, a pre-post
pilot trial will be conducted in the second phase to test the
feasibility of the programme, including the acceptability of
the procedures, the validity, reliability and feasibility of the
instruments, the recruitment and retention of participants,
and identification of the appropriate sample size. Next, the
full-scale evaluation of the programme will be conducted to
evaluate the effectiveness and process of the programme
using RCT and focused group study respectively. Finally, to
validate the Couples Coping Focused intervention model for
colorectal cancer patients and their spousal caregivers.
