简要总结
RATIONALE: Palliative care teaching sessions may be more effective than standard care in improving caregiver burden, caregiver skills preparedness, quality of life, and distress in family caregivers of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the effects of palliative care teaching sessions in family caregivers of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
I. Test the effects of a family caregiver palliative care intervention (FCPCI) for informal caregivers of patients with early and late stage lung cancer on caregiver burden and caregiver skills preparedness as compared to a group of family caregivers (FC) in a usual care situation.
II. Test the effects of a FCPCI for informal caregivers of patients with early and late stage lung cancer on FC in a usual care situation.
III. Describe early and late stage FC self care behavior, comparing the usual care and FCPCI groups.
IV. Describe resource use by early and late stage FC comparing the usual care and FCPCI groups. V. Identify subgroups of FC who benefit most from the FCPCI in relation to sociodemographic characteristics, clinical/functional factors.
