 An approach that is relevant to the psychological needs of people who have received a diagnosis of oesophageal cancer and their carers  A therapeutic intervention that is not resource-intensive

Focus groups Interviews Survey at 2 points in time Publication of findings Development of intervention Testing of intervention

Beliefs about Illness / Condition Coping Strategies Appraisal of Outcome

Psychological Distress Medical Disease course Treatment Pain Stage / grade Demographic Age Psychiatric history Carer Cognitions Interpersonal Social support Personality Optimism Neuroticism Fatalism

Psychological Distress Cognitions

Research Aim Beliefs Cause Timeline Control Consequences Coherence Ways of Coping Reflect / relax Positive focus Diversion Planning Interpersonal support Levels of: Anxiety and Depression Illness Perceptions Questionnaire - Revised Cancer Coping Questionnaire Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Fear of Recurrence Scale

 To determine which beliefs / coping strategies are strongest predictors of anxiety/depression among people diagnosed with oesophageal cancer and their carers  To determine whether incongruence in carer- patient beliefs is related to distress (i.e. is the relationship between patient beliefs and distress moderated by carer beliefs)  To determine whether coping strategies mediate the relationship between beliefs and distress

Survivors of oesophageal cancer People identified as carers Number Average age6562 Gender66% male75% female 91% were the spouse or partner of the person they cared for

 Anxiety R 2 = 0.57: Medical/demographic variables – 12% Beliefs – 37%; Coping – 7%  Depression R 2 = 0.53: Medical/demographic variables – 12% Beliefs – 35%; Coping – 6%

Lower Anxiety Older No other illnesses Illness coherence Personal control Positive focus Treatment control (carer) No reflection or diversion ConsequencesInteraction

Lower Depression Time since diagnosis No other illnesses No related symptoms Illness coherence Personal control Positive focus Treatment control (carer) No reflection ConsequencesInteraction

 Interventions at the level of the dyad could be useful  Focus on consequences, control and understanding of oesophageal cancer and encourage positive focus coping strategies

 Development of intervention based on these cognitions  Possible techniques: normalising the lack of personal control and emotional distress, avoid catastrophising, psychoeducation to improve understanding, positive self-talk  Planned feasibility study, leading to trial
