Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Caregiver Burden
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to see if telephone support programs help patients and their family caregivers adjust to advanced gastrointestinal cancer. A new telephone counseling program that involves practicing strategies for managing stress and symptoms will be compared to a telephone program involving education on quality-of-life issues and psychosocial support. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does our telephone counseling program lower the negative impact of patients' fatigue on their activities, emotions, and thinking abilities compared to a telephone program involving education and support? Does our telephone counseling program lower family caregivers' feelings of burden compared to a telephone program involving education and support? Participants in both study conditions will: Complete 6 weekly telephone sessions of counseling or education/support Complete a telephone booster session Complete 3 telephone interviews over about 5 months
