The document title “Effectiveness of a
nurse-delivered (FOCUS+) and a web-based (iFOCUS) psychoeducational
intervention for people with advanced cancer and their family caregivers
(DIAdIC): study protocol for an international randomized controlled trial”
describes the DIAdIC study that will evaluate the effectiveness of two
psychosocial and educational interventions aimed at improving patient-family
caregiver dyads.
Worldwide, millions of people with advanced
cancer and their family caregivers are experiencing physical and psychological
distress. Psychosocial support and education can reduce distress and prevent
avoidable healthcare resource use. To date, we lack knowledge from large-scale
studies on which interventions generate positive outcomes for people with
cancer and their informal caregivers’ quality of life.
