研究背景
《彌補心路程》博士研究（2012-2016) 本分開兩部份。首部以傳統的資料搜集方法如訪問及小組座談會，以至戲劇工作坊來探討在香港華人癌病照顧者的經驗。第二部分是將這些資料用作建構戲劇演出。戲劇製作將會作為一個開放的平台，讓不同的研究參與者及持份者，例用癌病患者，癌病康復者，照顧者（家人或朋友），醫生，護士，社工，輔導員，癌病機構員工。其他有關人士，如應用戲劇工作者，亦受邀請來交流意見及討論。旨在運用戲劇來為癌病照顧者帶來啟迪，賦權及解放，希望戲劇演出能成為一個教育途徑，幫助面對照顧癌病人時所遇到的種種挑戰。

Research Background
Mending the Broken Heart the  doctoral research  (2012-2016) was divided into two parts.  The first part explored and described the Hong Kong Chinese cancer caregiver experience through the use of traditional data collection methods such as interviews and focus groups, as well as through drama workshops.  The second part was to use the data collected  to create a drama performance.  This drama production served as a platform for open exchange and discussion between  research participants and stakeholders such as cancer patients, cancer survivors, caregivers (family and friends), doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, and  cancer organization workers.  Other interested parties such as applied theatre practitioners, were also invited.  The objective was to use drama to provide enlightenment, empowerment and emancipation for the cancer caregivers by using the drama production as an educational tool for people who face challenges in cancer caregiving.
