Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention
('Standard' specialized palliative care +) The Carer Support Needs Assessment Tool (CSNAT) intervention.
The Carer Support Needs Assessment Tool (CSNAT) intervention
The CSNAT intervention is a caregiver-led approach where the caregiver first identifies his/her needs of support in the CSNAT, which consists of 14 support domains. Then the practitioner facilitates the intervention where the caregiver prioritizes which domains to discuss. In the conversation, the caregiver's domain priorities and subsequently identified support needs are discussed with the practitioner to agree on actions/solutions and a shared action plan. The intervention will be offered each caregiver twice: the first time between 0 and 13 days after enrollment, and the second time between 15 and 27 days after enrollment.
Control
('Standard' specialized palliative care). No intervention offered.
