Active clinical trials for "Caregiver Burden"

This study aimed to determine the experiences of primary caregivers of patients with tracheostomies on tracheostomy suctioning procedure. This is a semi-structured qualitative study.

In geriatric oncology, caregivers are submitted to a risk of exhaustion. To investigate the clinical risk factor of exhaustion, the researchers propose to conduct a prospective observational study during 6 months phone follow up of the caregivers. The recruitment will take place during the oncogeriatric assessment consultation.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an association between adverse physical and/or psychological outcome in ICU survivors and the caregiver burden for their relatives. We hypothesize that relatives to ICU survivors with an incomplete physical and/or psychological recovery three months after ICU stay report a higher caregiver burden.

The purpose of the Daily Study of Caregiving Relationships and Health is to learn how caregiving relationships and social connectedness are associated with dementia caregivers' health, health behaviors, and diurnal patterns of salivary cortisol. This is a pilot study wherein the purpose is to test the feasibility and acceptability of study protocols.

This trial studies caregiver burden, quality of life, and symptom distress of patients and their informal (unpaid) caregivers at different palliative care settings. Cancer caregiving may affect a caregiver's life physically, emotionally, socially, and financially. Studying caregiver burden may help investigators learn about caregivers' opinions on stress of caregiving, and about the factors related to caregiver burdens.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact that serving as a caregiver for a patient undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant has on the caregiver. This will include looking at the caregiver's level of burden, depression, anxiety, somatic symptoms, fatigue and overall distress. It will also look at whether caregiver burden leads to an increase in hospitalization and overall outcome.

The present study registration relates to a quantitative sub-study of a larger mixed method study, including also a qualitative sub-study. Together, these investigations will provide complementary insights. The quantitative study is a follow-up study of close relatives (> 16 years) of patients in treatment for substance use disorder (SUD) who participated in a group-based 4-day psychoeducational program.

This study aims at investigation of the caregiver burden of Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) patients and at the assessment of how much of caregiver burden could be reduced in transitioning from Pro Re Nata to proactive therapy especially in real-life rural settings where public transportations are not readily available.

Caregivers of patients with disorders of consciousness are highly prone to developing mental health issues. The aim of this study is to investigate the psychological symptoms and care burden of caregivers of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC), and to examine which characteristics of patients were burden predictors to caregivers.

The French Armed Forces Health Service caregivers are confronted with specific operational constraints that require physiological adaptation on a daily basis. These constraints generate an allostatic load resulting from the body's adaptation to the environment through stress response systems. The COVID-19 health crisis has modified the physical and psychological constraints linked to usual activity, in particular by imposing versatility to caregivers. The research hypothesis is that carers who have undergone activity reorganisations, and in particular a change of service, are more affected by the health crisis than those who have remained in their service and have continued an activity close to their usual practice.
