Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A cross-sectional questionnaire methodology will be used to answer the research questions. Caregivers in this study are defined as: a family member who lends physical, emotional or other support to someone at any time during the cancer journey. A power calculation was not done, instead the sample size of 510 was based on what may be practically achievable and feasible for the duration of the short-term quantitative study. Descriptive statistics will be used to characterize the distribution of socio-demographic characteristics and caregiver-related information. Regression analysis will be used to evaluate difference in overall and domain specific needs across selected characteristics. Problems identified by caregivers will be dichotomized as present or absent and chi-square tests will be used to evaluate associations with selected characteristics.
