Moving Forward Courses

Improving the wellbeing of breast cancer survivors (4 yrs)

Aim: to examine the needs of breast cancer survivors from diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds and develop and test an intervention to address these needs.

Overall research aims

• To understand the needs (phase 1)• To understand the barriers and type of

intervention needed (phase 2)• To design, develop and evaluate an

intervention to address these needs and overcome barriers (phase 3)

The research so far…Phase One

• 66 qualitative interviews with women across England from different minority ethnic and socio- economic groups

• Findings:– Lack of knowledge and awareness about breast cancer, – stigma and fear of cancer – Social isolation – unmet emotional needs after treatment

Phase 1 Outcome: Uncertainty about type of support intervention required

• Which ‘need’ to target?

• Participants raised many different ideas about type of intervention(s) required

• Systematic Review - Q. Can we culturally adapt an intervention that already exists?

• We needed patients and experts to help co-design our intervention

Phase 2: Experience based co-design (EBCD) method

A staged participatory research approach which seeks to capture and understand how people experience a service to improve future experiences. We used an accelerated approach

Gather experiences from patients

and staff through

interviews, observation and group

discussions

Identify key 'touch points' (emotionally significant

points)

Create a short edited film is

from the patient

interviews

Show film to staff/

stakeholders and patients,

conveying patient

experiences

Bring staff / stakeholders and patients together to

work in groups to

identify and design

activities to improve the

service/ experience

“Patient Events”

Separate films for Black and South Asian

groups were made to

highlight their unique experiences

Break out discussion groups facilitated by a member of Breast Cancer Care staff

Joint staff and patient events held at library in Peckham

Prowess is launched! Patient

Promoting

RecOvery

Wellbeing

Equality and

Support in breast cancer

Survivors

Our experience of EBCD method• Engagement & participation which produces

collective co-design and ‘mobilised’ group

• Can engage ‘hard to reach’/ ‘seldom heard’

• Meaningful contribution and people feel valued

• Films - get people talking!

• Provided the opportunity to meet/ influence people may not have had opportunity to meet before

Our learnings:

• Provide tailored information: finance and employment rights and benefits and on skin and hair care for black and Asian women

• Use interactive & visual delivery methods: less emphasis on traditional teaching

• Promote social interaction with others: to help nurture and build peer support with others

• Use expert & lay facilitators: representing different ethnic communities and volunteer role models

• Involve family: to inform them and to address their information and support needs

• Be inclusive rather then exclusive

Next steps:

• PROWESS Feasibility trial (2014- 15) with embedded process evaluation

• Expected outcomes – Adapt our current services model– Work with partners in delivering the model or– Share our learnings and train others to deliver

the PROWESS intervention
