Adapting a Preparatory Skills-Building Programme for Carers of People With Cancer Through Co-Design: The iCanSupport Project
Introduction
Health services rely upon carers to provide care for loved ones with cancer, yet many carers often feel ill-prepared for this role. Despite a multitude of programmes to support carer mental health, programmes that help carers feel better equipped to support a person with cancer are lacking. This study aimed to address this need by adapting an evidence-based intervention to be suitable for carers of people with cancer.
Methods
This study used an exploratory, qualitative design consisting of experienced-based co-design and an in-depth stakeholder engagement strategy. An existing evidence-based programme to promote resilience in the context of providing care was adapted for relevance to carers for people with cancer via two co-design workshops with carers and healthcare professionals (n = 8). The resulting prototype programme was refined based on stakeholder consultations with staff and consumer members of cancer and carer support organisations across Australia (n = 16). Transcripts of the workshops, meetings and written feedback from carers were thematically analysed.
Results
Major programme developments were guided by three themes that emerged from the co-design workshops: ‘creating value for carers’, ‘multiple contributors to carer distress’ and ‘the need for flexible implementation’. Analysis of the stakeholder consultation data showed that the themes of ‘diversity in carer journeys’ and ‘creating impact for carers’ were key to further tailoring the programme for applicability to practice. An adapted programme called ‘iCanSupport’ resulted from the process, with key adaptations being more relevant case study scenarios for carers and greater flexibility in accessing and engaging with the intervention to accommodate a range of carer circumstances.
Conclusion
Programmes to build skills for becoming a carer for someone with cancer are absent, yet they are desired by carers. Using co-design provided a user-centric approach to adapt an existing evidence-based programme. Programme evaluation is required to determine the effectiveness of the co-designed approach in improving carer preparedness among a range of cohorts.
Patient or Public Contribution
Carers and consumers with lived experience and others involved in supporting consumers made valuable contributions to co-designing and refining the programme in addition to providing ongoing guidance in the unfolding analysis and reporting of this research.
期刊介绍:
Health Expectations promotes critical thinking and informed debate about all aspects of patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) in health and social care, health policy and health services research including:
• Person-centred care and quality improvement
• Patients'' participation in decisions about disease prevention and management
• Public perceptions of health services
• Citizen involvement in health care policy making and priority-setting
• Methods for monitoring and evaluating participation
• Empowerment and consumerism
• Patients'' role in safety and quality
• Patient and public role in health services research
• Co-production (researchers working with patients and the public) of research, health care and policy
Health Expectations is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research, review articles and critical commentaries. It includes papers which clarify concepts, develop theories, and critically analyse and evaluate specific policies and practices. The Journal provides an inter-disciplinary and international forum in which researchers (including PPIE researchers) from a range of backgrounds and expertise can present their work to other researchers, policy-makers, health care professionals, managers, patients and consumer advocates.
