Randomized Controlled TrialExamining Caregiver Outcomes in the CONNECT Intervention for Patients with Advanced Cancer.
Palliative care offers patient and family centered approaches that may mitigate risk of caregiver burden and poor mood. ⋯ Caregivers in CONNECT did not experience improved burden or mood, however, they reported higher self-efficacy compared to caregivers receiving standard care. This study highlights the need for strategies to optimize caregiver outcomes in palliative care interventions.
