DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THIS SEMINAR HAS BEEN CANCELLED.\n\n\n\nAt this s
 eminar\, we have two talks by Helena O’Flynn and Sarah McMullen.\n\nPres
 entation 1: Understanding factors that influence symptom appraisal and h
 elp seeking behaviour in women with gynaecological symptoms \nO’Flynn He
 lena\, Archer S\, Esmail A\, Walter F\, Crosbie E\,\n\nEndometrial cance
 r (EC) is the 4th most common cancer affecting British women\, and its i
 ncidence is rising. Although EC tends to present early as postmenopausal
  bleeding (PMB)\, 20% of women are diagnosed at an advanced stage with a
  5-year survival rate of just 15%. Delayed presentation risks progressiv
 e disease and may be partly responsible for advanced stage at diagnosis 
 for some women with EC.  With increases in incidence noted in the obese 
 and elderly populations who are higher risk for radical surgery and medi
 cal treatments\, increasing awareness and reducing delayed diagnosis cou
 ld improve outcomes. \n\nIn a pilot study\, we found that over a third o
 f women with symptoms of womb cancer waited more than a month to see the
 ir GP. We also noted that nearly half of those with advanced disease had
  waited more than a month to see their GP.\nUnderstanding why women dela
 y seeing their GP will also help inform meaningful strategies to increas
 e awareness in the future. \n\n We want to understand the factors that i
 nfluence the recognition of PMB as a red flag (symptom appraisal) in EC 
 and understand the factors that influence when women with PMB seek medic
 al attention (help seeking behaviour). We also want to establish if any 
 delay in diagnosis impacts on outcome for women with EC.\n\nWe will use 
 a multi-methods approach\, including a questionnaire study of women rece
 ntly diagnosed with EC and women with unexplained PMB referred for urgen
 t investigation. A purposive sample will then be invited to participate 
 in an in-depth qualitative semi-structured interview\, in order to gain 
 deeper understanding of the quantitative findings.\n\nPresentation 2: De
 veloping and feasibility testing of a culturally adapted intervention to
  improve cognitive functioning in British South Asians with Dementia”. S
 arah McMullen\n\nIntroduction/Aim: The aim of the project is to develop 
 and feasibility test a culturally adapted therapy to improve cognitive f
 unctioning in British South Asians with Dementia.  The therapy will be s
 elected between two therapies already available within the NHS and recom
 mended by NICE: Reminiscence therapy and Cognitive Stimulation therapy. 
 The ‘one size fits all’ approach of these therapies do not allow all ind
 ividuals living with dementia to benefit from them.  The selected therap
 y will be culturally adapted and will be tested to ensure its acceptabil
 ity\, implementation and appropriateness for British South Asians with D
 ementia.\n\nMethods and Analysis: Focus groups and a consensus process m
 eeting will run with lay Urdu speaking British South Asians\, service pr
 oviders and experts/researchers in the field to select and inform the de
 velopment of the culturally adapted manual. A PPIE group with individual
 s with mild cognitive impairment or mild Dementia  will also be conducte
 d. A feasibility study will be conducted with 25-32 Urdu speaking South 
 Asian individuals with mild to moderate Dementia. As part of a feasibili
 ty study the intervention will be delivered over a 3 month period throug
 h a culturally competent therapist. The outcome measures will be complet
 ed at baseline\, post intervention and follow up. Primary analyses will 
 include descriptive data and further data will be collected on recruitme
 nt\, attendance and retention.  Qualitative interviews will be conducted
  with participants to understand and explore the acceptability and appro
 priateness of the intervention.\n
