Cancer Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Study of Family Caregivers' Needs, Burden of Care and Quality of Life Over the Course of a Cancer Illness
This research will determine (a) the unmet needs of family caregivers of adult cancer
patients and (b) determine the impact on stress, care burden and quality of life.
A cross-sectional questionnaire methodology will be used to answer the research questions.
510 family caregivers at different stages of patients' cancer journey will be recruited. The
study duration is expected to take two years. Research findings will address the knowledge
gap of caregivers' needs and stress, burden and quality of life and support plans to help
caregivers.
The literature suggests that caregivers have unique psychological, emotional and lifestyle
needs but there is a paucity of such information of caregivers in Singapore. As this study is
exploratory, no a priori hylothesis has been made. The theoretical framework guiding this
research is Fulfillment Theory in which the existence and perception of needs and need
fulfillment are hypothesized to be antecedents to the experience of satisfaction about care.
A cross-sectional questionnaire methodology will be used to answer the research questions.
Caregivers in this study are defined as: a family member who lends physical, emotional or
other support to someone at any time during the cancer journey. A power calculation was not
done, instead the sample size of 510 was based on what may be practically achievable and
feasible for the duration of the short-term quantitative study. Descriptive statistics will
be used to characterize the distribution of socio-demographic characteristics and
caregiver-related information. Regression analysis will be used to evaluate difference in
overall and domain specific needs across selected characteristics. Problems identified by
caregivers will be dichotomized as present or absent and chi-square tests will be used to
evaluate associations with selected characteristics.
