This clinical trial studies quality of life in caregivers of hospitalized older patients with cancer.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Identify patient and caregiver factors associated with increased caregiver burden and decreased quality of life in caregivers of older adults with cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine characteristics of informal caregivers of older adults with cancer admitted to hospital.
II. Determine type and amount of care informal caregivers provide for older adults with cancer admitted to hospital.
III. Determine quality of life in informal caregivers of older adults with cancer admitted to hospital.
IV. Identify caregiver needs, both informational and resource related. V. Explore the association between re-admission to the hospital within 30 days and caregiver burden.
VI. Explore whether feedback of information attained from the assessment of the caregiver influences services implemented by the health care team.
VII. Determine reasons for non-participation.
OUTLINE:
Caregivers complete a questionnaire about their sociodemographics, physical health, social supports, social activity, mental health and caregiver burden. They will also provide an assessment of the person they care for.

Caregiver burden and caregiver quality of life as measured by the Caregiver Quality of Life-Cancer Index
Univariate analyses will be performed to test differences in the Caregiver Quality of Life-Cancer Index (CQOLC) total score and score of each domain (burden, distinctiveness, positive adaption, and financial concern) across categorical variables (analysis of variance \[ANOVA\]), and simple linear regression will be used to test association of CQOLC total score with continuous and categorical variables.
