The Needs and Burden of Family Caregivers of Older Adults With Cancer
Sponsor: University Hospital, Lille
Summary
Elderly cancer patients need more help from their relatives and for longer than young adults. Our hypothesis of research is that the needs and resources to help the couple " elderly patient/caregiver ", are at least in part socially determined and that the implementation of a personalized support plan to help the caregiver (PSP) taking into account needs, resources and expectations of the primary caregiver in addition to those of elderly patients with cancer may partly correct inequalities. The PSP should allow a better management of cancer, a lesser burden for the caregiver and a better quality of life for both the caregiver and the patient.
