Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to develop refine and pilot test a text-messaging micro-intervention focused on improving communication skills for couples in which one partner has gastrointestinal cancer
For the pilot testing portion of the study couples will be randomized 11 to receive the text-messaging communication micro-intervention or to a waitlist control group All couples will be asked to complete questionnaires before randomization and 30 days post-randomization Couples in the waitlist control group will be offered the text-messaging micro-intervention after completing the second set of surveys 30-days post-randomization

Detailed Description:
A cancer diagnosis requires patients and their intimate partners to communicate effectively to navigate illness-related challenges Research indicates that couples who use effective communication strategies have better individual psychological adjustment and higher relationship satisfaction However many couples have difficulty communicating about cancer-related issues which can lead to poorer individual relationship and patient health outcomes
While dyadic interventions to improve couple communication have proven efficacious they are often time intensive and have limited reach The challenges of recruiting couples into dyadic interventions are well-documented with low recruitment rates especially among underserved couples
Micro-interventions which consist of brief educational materials and short activities delivered via text message or a mobile application have significant potential to increase reach and participation in diverse groups of couples by increasing flexibility and reducing barriers to access Previous studies have found micro-interventions to be effective in promoting health behavior change in a wide range of individuals and in enhancing dyadic functioning in community couples
The proposed project aims to develop test and examine the feasibility acceptability and efficacy of a text-messaging communication micro-intervention for couples coping with advanced GI cancer
