|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Effects of Family Caregiver Palliative Care Intervention (FCPCI) on caregiver burden | Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) will be used to test group differences. Caregiver burden subscales may be tested using multivariate ANCOVA (MANCOVA). | Up to 6 months | |
| Primary | Effects of FCPCI on caregiving skills preparedness | ANCOVA will be used to test group differences. Caregiver burden subscales may be tested using MANCOVA. | Up to 6 months | |
| Primary | Effects of FCPCI on Quality Of Life (QOL) | ANCOVA will be used to test group differences. MANCOVA may be used to test group differences of QOL subscale scores. | Up to 6 months | |
| Primary | Effects of FCPCI on psychological distress | ANCOVA will be used to test group differences. MANCOVA may be used to test group differences of QOL subscale scores. | Up to 6 months | |
| Secondary | Caregiver's self-care behavior | Qualitative analyses will be conducted on the narrative responses to the Self-Care Behaviors instrument. Self-care behaviors will be coded within each category. Results will be reviewed for consensus and validation, and any discrepancies will be resolved. Tables of coded themes with examples will be created. | Up to 6 months | |
| Secondary | Caregivers' resource use | The qualitative analysis will be conducted on the narrative responses to the Resource Use instrument. Resources will be coded within each category. Results will be reviewed for consensus and validation, and any discrepancies will be resolved. Tables of categories and codes will be created. | Up to 6 months | |
| Secondary | Identification of subgroups of family caregivers who benefit most from the FCPCI in relation to sociodemographic, health status, and patient characteristics | In four separate hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses, the 3 month outcome measure (caregiver burden, skills preparedness, psychological distress, and total QOL) will be regressed first on baseline measures for the relevant outcomes, followed by demographic and caregiver health status variables, and then by patient characteristics and severity of illness, using dummy-coding as appropriate. | 3 months | |
| Secondary | Family caregivers' satisfaction with the FCPCI | A descriptive analysis of the brief satisfaction survey item results for subjects in the experimental group will be conducted, summarizing number and percent for normal data or means and standard deviations for continuous data. | 6 months | |
| Secondary | Caregiver out-of-pocket costs | A descriptive analysis of family caregivers' costs will be conducted. | Up to 6 months |
