Social support plays a pivotal role in the psychological adjustment of people with cancer. Support groups provide unique input, but their outcomes are reliant on the quality and sustainability of the leaders. Internationally, little is known about the challenges and unmet needs of cancer support group leaders, or how to best support them. This study will: a) clarify the needs of cancer group leaders b) design and evaluate two interventions (minimal and intense) to meet the needs of leaders. If successful, this study will provide the evidence on which cancer organizations around the world can base interventions to sustain cancer support group leaders and thus hopefully improve psychological outcomes for cancer patients and their carers.

社会支持在癌症患者的心理调节中起着至关重要的作用。支持小组提供独特的投入，但其结果取决于领导者的质量和可持续性。在国际上，人们对癌症支持小组领导人面临的挑战和未满足的需求以及如何最好地支持他们知之甚少。这项研究将： a) 明确癌症小组领导的需求 b) 设计和评估两种干预措施（最低限度和强烈）以满足领导者的需求。 如果成功，这项研究将为世界各地的癌症组织提供证据，使他们能够采取干预措施来维持癌症支持小组领导者的地位，从而有望改善癌症患者及其护理人员的心理结果。
