FOCUSau

"FOCUSau is a self-administered web-based intervention and completed autonomously via the internet by the dyad. Delivery encompasses the completion of four prescribed consecutive FOCUSau sessions (with three weeks between each session) over a period of 12 weeks.~The sessions are completed simultaneously by the patient and family carer, together at a computer. The intervention sessions can be completed at any time within the 12-week timeframe. Participants receive tailored individual and dyadic messages according to the information provided at study enrollment and their responses to questions within the sessions. Dyads are also provided with an online personal workbook containing the results of interactive exercises completed during the internet sessions. Any information sheets that the dyad indicated as 'of interest to them' during the internet sessions are included as a hyperlink in their personal workbook which also contains evidence-based local advanced cancer related resources."
