Cancer and Mild Cognitive Impairment Dyadic Intervention
June 4, 2024 updated by: Duke University
A Patient-Caregiver Behavioral Intervention for Older Adults With Cancer and Mild Cognitive Impairment-2
The purpose of this study is to see whether programs that include both a patient and their spouse or a patient and family caregiver (known as a dyad) are helpful for families in which one member of the dyad has cancer and mild memory difficulties and/or concerns.
Participant and their spouse or participant and their family caregiver will have six, 60-minute video-conference sessions which will be scheduled at their convenience.
The investigator will loan participants a tablet computer (iPad) to use for videoconferencing and train the participant in its use.
Participant and their spouse or participant and their family caregiver will complete three assessments - one before starting the sessions, one after the sixth session, and one after 1 month.
Each assessment will include surveys, which the participant will complete separately from their spouse or family caregiver.
For most people, it will take upwards of 2 - 4 months to complete this study
