简要总结
RATIONALE: Gathering information over time about patients' sense of being a burden on their caregiver, and caregivers' sense of burden on themselves, may help doctors learn more about the desire to die in patients with late-stage cancer.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying perceptions of burden in patients with late-stage cancer and their caregivers.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To measure psychosocial correlates of desire for hastened death (DHD) and change in DHD in patients with late-stage cancer by examining the relationship among a patient's perception of being a burden, their caregiver's perceptions of the patient's burdensomeness, and DHD changes over time.
Secondary
- To identify coping and personality factors in both caregivers and patients that may be related to the patients' DHD and changes in their DHD.
