Inclusion Criteria
Informal caregivers can enter the study if they take care of a patient who has been diagnosed with cancer and has a life expectancy of less than four months.
Next to these criteria, the patient has to spend his last months largely at home and has to be at least 18 years old.
Informal caregivers can also take part in the study if they are not involved in the care for the patient at the moment, but are expected to be in the near future.
Exclusion Criteria
Informal caregivers who take care of a cancer patient with a life expectancy of less than two months, because this interferes with the post-measurement eight weeks after inclusion.
