The CanCope Study: Comparing the effects of Two Online Wellbeing Programs on the Mental Health of Cancer Survivors

Group A: CanCope Mind - Participants randomised to the CanCope Mind condition will receive an 8-week internet-delivered psychological intervention via E-mail links. This intervention is emotion-focused and aims to provide skills to manage emotions more effectively. The intervention comprises 4, 2-week online modules which each include (a) educational reading material, (b) summary videos, and (c) daily online reflection and practical activities, all delivered via REDcap: - Module 1: Focuses on understanding emotions, their components (i.e., thoughts, feelings, behaviours), and their functions. - Module 2: Focuses on building mindfulness skills and involves listening to guided mindfulness audios and practicing techniques to anchor oneself in the present moment. - Module 3: Focuses on building flexible thinking skills (i.e., the ability to challenge negative automatic thoughts and view situations from multiple perspectives). - Module 4: Focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful emotion-driven behaviours. The internet-delivered intervention is completely standardised and uniform across participants. Participants will receive a brief standardised introductory phone call and an optional mid-program phone call, conducted by a doctoral-level provisional psychologist and trained research assistants. Intervention adherence is assessed by the number of readings and online activities completed.
