CANCER
The primary objective of this randomised control trial (RCT) is to examine whether a group-based, compassion-focussed therapy (CFT) psychological intervention combined with breathing pattern retraining (BPR), is effective at reducing psychological distress measured using the Distress Thermometer at 3 months following randomisation, in individuals experiencing cancer recurrence during COVID-19, as compared to those receiving TAU.Secondary objectives of the study include examining whether CFT and BPR demonstrably improve measures of depression, anxiety, trauma symptoms and mental adjustment to cancer, compared to those receiving TAU.
