To assess participants' acceptability of the FOCUS program, a psychoeducational intervention, delivered to multiple patient-caregiver dyads in a small-group format.
PARTICIPANTS & SETTING: A total of 72 adults diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers (36 dyads) who participated in 1 of 11 FOCUS programs delivered at two Cancer Support Community affiliates.
A pre-/postintervention design was used to implement the FOCUS program. The FOCUS Satisfaction Instrument measured participants' satisfaction with the program, usefulness of the materials, helpfulness in coping with cancer, duplication of services, willingness to recommend the program to others, and the most and least beneficial aspects. Descriptive statistics, t tests, and content analysis were used.
Most participants reported that the program did not duplicate services, that it helped them cope with cancer, and that they would recommend the program to others. The most beneficial aspects of the program were the group format and the dyadic approach.
A group format and dyadic approach to address the psychosocial impact of cancer is highly valued by individuals with cancer and their caregivers. Nurses are well positioned to lead implementation of programs like the FOCUS program that complement other cancer support services.
评估参与者对 FOCUS 计划的接受程度，这是一种心理教育干预措施，以小组形式提供给多个患者-照顾者二人组。
共有 72 名被诊断患有癌症的成年人及其照顾者（36 对）参加了在两个癌症支持社区附属机构举办的 11 个 FOCUS 计划中的 1 个。
采用预/后干预设计实施 FOCUS 计划。FOCUS 满意度量表衡量参与者对该计划的满意度、材料的有用性、对癌症应对的帮助、服务重复、向他人推荐该计划的意愿以及最有益和最无益的方面。使用描述性统计、t 检验和内容分析。
大多数参与者表示该计划没有重复服务，它帮助他们应对癌症，他们会向他人推荐该计划。该计划最有益的方面是小组形式和二元方法。
以小组形式和二元方法来解决癌症对心理社会的影响，受到癌症患者及其照顾者的高度重视。护士非常适合领导实施 FOCUS 计划等项目，这些项目补充了其他癌症支持服务。
