"Walking Together with Love: a Couples-Based Intervention for Sexual and Relationship Distress in Cancer Patients"

"This intervention targets three core areas:~Body Image Improvement - Supports patients in understanding and accepting physical changes resulting from cancer treatments, fostering positive attitudes toward body image and self-esteem.~Psychological Flexibility Enhancement - Utilizes ACT-based strategies to help participants acknowledge and adaptively manage difficult emotions, thoughts, and experiences related to cancer diagnosis and treatment.~Dyadic Coping Skill Training - Provides structured skill-building exercises to strengthen mutual support mechanisms, enhance effective partner communication, and promote collaborative problem-solving when facing cancer-related stressors.~The intervention consists of six weekly sessions (90-120 minutes each), delivered in a hybrid format (virtual and in-person) to maximize accessibility. Each session integrates psychoeducational presentations, facilitated discussions, guided experiential exercises."
