Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Receiving a life-limiting diagnosis is often a shock for those affected as well as for their relatives, which changes the entire life situation of the family. New perspectives often arise, as well as feelings of worry, sadness and powerlessness. Caregiving is often an extreme physical challenge, but above all a psychological one.

Aims of the study

1. To investigate whether family caregivers of palliative patients with severe trait anxiety in the care situation also suffer from severe state anxiety.
2. To investigate whether family caregivers of palliative patients with increased stress levels and burnout-promoting work-related behaviour suffer more from burnout symptoms, health-related anxiety and psychosomatic complaints.
3. To investigate the impact of nursing support by a mobile palliative team on family caregivers of palliative patients.
