Project Description
The aim of this project is to adapt the programme for people who return to work after breast cancer. We will use focus groups with women living with and beyond breast cancer, who have returned to the workplace to help us co-design adaptations to our intervention to ensure it meets the needs of women returning to work. We will then test our intervention with women returning to work following treatment for breast cancer to improve quality of life (reduce sedentary behaviour, fatigue, and stress), explore workplace performance, and improve overall health and well-being.
This is a single-centre, wait-list control, mixed-methods, randomised controlled feasibility trial, to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the programme. We will collect quantitative and qualitative outcome measures to determine our ability to collect these for a future fully powered trial, and interview women about their experiences taking part in the study.
