Abstract
The current study represents the first stage in the development of a storytelling intervention to promote psychological well-being for families affected by cancer. A two-round Delphi study was used with the aim of establishing consensus and exploring the diversity of opinion of three groups of experts: professional storytellers, health-care professionals, and experts-by-experience (N = 25). A list of 73 summary statements was generated from round one interviews. Of these statements, 91.6 percent achieved consensus. Main areas of consensus included flexibility of format and content, the need for psychological support, and psychological safety. Items that did not achieve consensus were explored further. Implications and avenues for future research are discussed.
