Detailed Description:
When someone is diagnosed with cancer it can be a worrying and stressful time for patients and for their family members Family members may provide practical and emotional support to patients and may take on a caregiver role
Family members may want more information or advice or may benefit from emotional support themselves The study aims to identify any gaps in the current support provided to family members so that services can be improved in the future
Oncology patients in Singleton Hospital Swansea will be asked by their oncology team to identify one or more family members to participate in the study If a family member agrees to participate in the study the research team will call them to complete a telephone questionnaire The questionnaire should take less than 20 minutes and asks them some general questions eg age gender and some questions about how they are feeling what support services they find helpful and what additional support they feel would be beneficial
Data regarding participating patients cancer diagnosis and treatment will be collected from their medical notes
After the questionnaire data has been analysed optional follow-up interviews will be conducted with some family members to explore any issues identified in greater detail
Patients and family members will be recruited during a 6 month recruitment period and all responses will be anonymised
This is a pilot study which will not change the current support provided to family members although they may be directed to existing services if appropriate Patients treatment will not be changed in any way
