Family Caregivers Clinical Trial
Official title:
Improving Cancer Family Caregivers' Knowledge and Communication About Care Options
The purpose of this two-year mixed methods study is to develop and test an intervention to
improve cancer family caregivers' knowledge of care options (curative, palliative, and
hospice care) and goals of care communication as part of a self-management (SM) training
program.
The two specific aims of this project are to:
1. Develop a psycho-educational intervention called Managing Cancer Care: A Caregiver's
Guide (MCC-CG), for family caregivers of patients with breast cancer to increase
knowledge of care options, goals of care communication, and other SM skills.
2. Evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the MCC-CG in a pilot randomized
controlled trial compared with an attention-control condition (symptom management
education) on knowledge of care options, goals of care communication, and other key SM
skills (engagement in SM, management of transitions and uncertainty, increasing
self-efficacy, appropriate use of health care resources).
The investigators will address and accomplish aim 1 by taking the following steps:
1. Conduct development focus groups with family caregivers of women with breast cancer.
2. Develop the MCC-CG intervention prototype.
3. Conduct feedback focus groups with family caregivers to evaluate the prototype.
4. Revise the MCC-CG.
To address and accomplish aim 2, the investigators will do the following:
1. Conduct a pilot RCT to evaluate the feasibility of recruiting and retaining a sample of
family caregivers.
2. Assess the initial efficacy of the MCC-CG to improve knowledge of care options, goals
of care communication, and other SM skills.
3. Estimate power and determine the best measures for a large RCT testing the MCC-PT and
MCC-CG together.
