Anxiety and Burnout in Family Caregivers of Palliative Patients: Impact of Mobile Palliative Team Support
Data Collection
Collected from today forward - ProspectiveCohort
Tracking disease incidence in order to identify risk factors and understand disease progression over time.Summary
Study start date: May 1, 2021
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This study focuses on the mental stress symptoms experienced by family caregivers of palliative patients. When a person receives a life-limiting diagnosis, it not only affects them but also their family members, leading to a significant change in their life situation. This can bring about feelings of worry, sadness, and powerlessness, and caregiving can be both physically and psychologically challenging. The study aims to understand if family caregivers with severe trait anxiety also suffer from severe state anxiety. It also seeks to investigate if caregivers with increased stress levels and burnout-promoting work-related behavior suffer more from burnout symptoms, health-related anxiety, and psychosomatic complaints. Lastly, the study will look into the impact of nursing support provided by a mobile palliative team on these family caregivers.
