Descriptors and Predictors of Burden and Information Needs on Symptom Self-management in Thai Patients With Lung Cancer and Their Family Caregivers During Palliative Radiotherapy
In Brief
An observational study evaluating questionnaires for Advanced Lung Cancer and Symptoms. Completed, enrolled 112 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
the purpose of this study is to investigate over time patients' symptom burden, caregiving burden, and patients and caregivers' need for information on patient symptom self-management at home during palliative radiotherapy(RT) for lung cancer. Repeatedly assessing burden and information needs on symptom self-management at home can help healthcare professionals to design a bespoke service and plan of care for both patients and family caregivers. In addition, I will explore psycho-social and clinical predictors of burden and information needs in patients and caregivers. These predictors can help health professionals to identify patients and caregivers at risk for distress during palliative radiotherapy for lung cancer.
