研究概览
简要总结
The goal of this study is to compare patient ratings of how severe their own symptoms may be, with their caregivers' ratings of how severe they think the patients' symptoms may be. This will be compared using a questionnaire that is given to patients with brain tumors and their caregivers.
Researchers will also study any effects that these patients' neurocognitive function may have on these patients' and their caregivers' ratings of how severe the brain cancer symptoms may be.
详细描述
Study Visit:
If you and your caregiver agree to take part in this study, you will both complete 2 questionnaires. You will be in separate rooms when you complete the questionnaires.
The first questionnaire is a demographic questionnaire that asks basic questions such as your age and employment status.
Your second questionnaire asks about any brain cancer symptoms that you may be experiencing, and asks you to rate how severe they may be.
Your caregiver's second questionnaire asks the same questions as yours. It asks the caregiver to rate how severe he or she believes your symptoms may be.
