Detaljert beskrivelse
Aim 1: Conduct a pilot test of the effects of a novel caregiver intervention, as compared to a control group, on family caregiver self-efficacy for caregiving, anxiety, depression, and health-related quality of life.
Aim 2: Explore the acceptability of a caregiver intervention that utilizes simulation.
Aim 3: Assess the feasibility of the intervention. Aim 4: Describe the incidence of patient events that may be impacted by caregiver self-efficacy, such as acute care visits, admissions to the hospital, visits to the emergency department, need for fluids in the radiation oncology department, and interrupted treatment course.

Eksperimentell: Intervention Group: Caregiver education
The intervention includes caregivers who will receive an education and support program throughout radiation treatment in addition to usual care by their doctors and nurses.
|
The intervention will be delivered by a radiation oncology nurse.
Each of the four in-person sessions consists of approximately 30 minutes of educational content/simulation that addresses a specific caregiving topic and any issues or concerns that the caregiver may be experiencing.
Andre navn:
written, qualitative assessments of areas including depression and anxiety, caregiver self-efficacy, care-giver self efficacy for head and neck cancer, health-related quality of life, patient performance status, demographics, and medical history.
A structured series of open-ended questions will be used during a telephone interview with participants at four weeks post radiation treatment.
