Long Summary

This study suggests a new instrument for assessing the experiences of caregivers who care for people with advanced cancer. This instrument has been shown to be both reliable and valid and this measure may be used to assess interventions for caregivers of people with advanced cancer.

    Key Messages for Carers


  • Recognises that many carers of people with advanced cancer experience adverse impacts from their role
  • Reveals that carers may often struggle to prioritise their own needs ahead of the person they are caring for
  • Shows that carers have a desire to feel close to the person that they are caring for

  • Key Messages for Policy Makers


  • Outlines the importance of interventions that help caregivers improve their skills in various components of care
  • Reveals that female carers report lower self-efficacy
