Research Interests
My research is focused on enhancing the psychological well-being / quality of life of people with chronic illness (cancer, diabetes and heart disease) and their families. More specifically:
- Modelling the psychological predictors of psychological well-being and quality of life via reviews of current literature and primary research
- Designing and evaluating interventions to enhance quality of life and modify illness and sick-role behaviours.
- Developing and testing instruments to measure psychological constructs of importance in this area, eg. health-related quality of life.
I also have an interest in research methodology and how research is conducted in applied health settings. See Dempster, M. (2011). A Research Guide for Health and Clinical Psychology. Palgrave Macmillan http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?PID=416734
