Official title:
Prepare to Care, A Supported Self-Management Intervention for Head and Neck Cancer Caregivers
This pilot clinical trial studies how well Prepare to Care kit works in improving caregiver support in patients with stage I-IV head and neck cancer that is new or has come back. Prepare to Care kit may increase knowledge about head and neck cancer and enhance stress-management skills.

To assess feasibility (accrual, participation, and retention) and acceptability of a supported self-management intervention for psycho-education and stress management skills building designed for informal caregivers (intervention group n=20; waitlist control group, n=20) of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT). II. To obtain preliminary data on caregiver intermediate (self-efficacy for [a] coping with cancer and [b] abbreviated progressive muscle relaxation) and outcome variables (burden, psychological distress, quality of life) in intervention caregivers and waitlist control caregivers at the start of radiation (T1), end of radiation (T2), and 6-weeks post-radiation (T3). III. To compare intermediate (self-efficacy for (a) coping with cancer and (b) abbreviated progressive muscle relaxation) and outcome variables (burden, psychological distress, quality of life) between intervention caregivers and waitlist control caregivers at T1, T2, and T3. IV. To obtain preliminary data on caregiver cortisol response (cortisol slope, cortisol awakening OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups. GROUP I: Caregivers watch introduction video on a digital video disc (DVD) over 10 minutes at baseline.
