“…Differing from western-based carer interventions (15), Vietnamese ICCs focused on the inclusion of information regarding the healing nature of food and herbal medicines. This finding is rooted in Vietnamese culture whereby foods are considered to have different balancing properties ('hot' and 'cold' foods/yin and yang foods) that create harmony in the body and impacts on disease or illness.…”

“…Providing an effective intervention for a population currently without sufficient information or psychosocial supports is a policy priority for Vietnam (1). A recent review has found limited empirical evidence for the use of face-to-face supports (15). In response to unmet needs of cancer carers in the UK (11), an online resource was co-designed by ICC for cancer carers (16).…”

“…1,2 Psychosocial interventions aimed at mitigating the negative effects of cancer caregiving have demonstrated some improvements in caregivers' distress, mood, QOL, coping, and self-efficacy 3 ; however, results have been mixed. 4,5 These inconsistencies may be due to variations in the intervention content and timing used across these trials. Moreover, we lack an understanding of the key mechanisms responsible for conferring benefits, and this is necessary to maximize the scalability and potential for dissemination of such an intervention while minimizing clinician resources and the burden of participants.…”

“…Thus, caregivers of HCT recipients often experience a tremendous caregiving burden as well as decrements in their quality of life (QOL) and mood 1,2 .

These inconsistencies may be due to variations in the intervention content and timing used across these trials.…”

BACKGROUND: In a recent trial, a 6-session intervention (BMT-CARE) integrating medical information with cognitive-behavioral strategies improved quality of life (QOL), mood, coping skills, and self-efficacy for family/friend caregivers of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) recipients. This study examined whether improvements in coping and self-efficacy mediated the intervention effects on QOL and mood. METHODS: From December 2017 to April 2019, 100 caregivers of HCT recipients were enrolled into a randomized clinical trial of BMT-CARE versus usual care. Caregivers completed self-report measures of QOL (CareGiver Oncology Quality of Life questionnaire), depression and anxiety symptoms (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), coping skills (Measure of Current Status), and self-efficacy (Cancer Self-Efficacy Scale-Transplant) at enrollment (before HCT) and 60 days after HCT. Causal mediation regression models were used to examine whether changes in coping and self-efficacy mediated intervention effects on QOL as well as depression and anxiety symptoms. RESULTS: Improvements in 60-day QOL in patients assigned to BMT-CARE were partially mediated by improved coping and self-efficacy (indirect effect, 6.93; SE, 1.85; 95% CI, 3.71-11.05). Similarly, reductions in 60-day depression and anxiety symptoms were partially mediated by improved coping and self-efficacy (indirect effect for depression, −1.19; SE, 0.42; 95% CI, −2.23 to −0.53; indirect effect for anxiety, −1.46; SE, 0.55; 95% CI, −2.52 to −0.43). Combined improvements in coping and selfefficacy accounted for 67%, 80%, and 39% of the total intervention effects on QOL and depression and anxiety symptoms, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Coping and self-efficacy are essential components of a brief psychosocial intervention that improves QOL and mood for caregivers of HCT recipients during the acute recovery period.

“…Se sabe poco sobre el ajuste a largo plazo de los cuidadores en el duelo 30 , su calidad de vida, bienestar y la mejor forma de proporcionar cuidados enfermeros eficaces a esta población 31 , pero parece que los sistemas actuales de apoyo no son adecuados para satisfacer esas necesidades. Se necesitan de manera urgente ensayos rigurosos con evaluaciones de proceso y descripciones de las intervenciones a realizar con los cuidadores 32 .…”

Grief is a natural and self-limited process of adaptation to a new reality that arises after a significant loss, real or perceived, with a wide range of manifestations that produce an impact on the health of the mourner. Objective: To know and identify, broken down by diagnostic gradient, the prevalence of mourning in the Canary Islands, as well as the needs of care before the diagnosis of mourning of the mourners. Results: Significantly, more women than men are identified in the three diagnostic labels under study. Patients with bereavement complications previously presented depression, anxiety, and risk of loneliness. The result of the pattern assessment is paradoxical. Conclusion: Grief is a multidimensional phenomenon that can hardly be assessed from a reductionist tool such as functional patterns. The high prevalence of complications in women’s grief should be studied in-depth, associating it with their previous burdens of care and vulnerability. The association between loneliness and complicated grief is evident, and the role of community nurses in these patients may be essential. Further research is needed on the care needs of bereaved persons, both complicated and uncomplicated, as well as on their predictive and protective factors.
