TANGO: Nursing Follow up in Geriatric Oncology : Tracking Time of Caregiver Exhaustion Risk
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In geriatric oncology, caregivers are submitted to a risk of exhaustion. To investigate the clinical risk factor of exhaustion, the researchers propose to conduct a prospective observational study during 6 months phone follow up of the caregivers. The recruitment will take place during the oncogeriatric assessment consultation.

N/A |
Detailed Description
The primary purpose aim to describe the caregiver of patient with 70 years old or more, suffered from cancer and for which a treatment is planned, along with their long term evolution.
The secondary purposes are to :
-
Assess the exhaustion level felt by this caregiver
-
Assess the medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition
-
Relate factors associated to the medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition during patient chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy treatment
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Caregiver of cancer patient followed in geriatric oncology caregiver of cancer patient with 70 years old or more, for which a treatment is planned, along with their long term evolution |
Other: Phone nursing follow-up
From the day of geriatric cancer patient's consultation, nurses will identify caregiver and will follow them by phone (caregiver) during 6 months

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Standard collection of sociodemographic caregivers features [6 months]
subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months. The sociodemographic features will be reported during this period, depending on patient disease and caregiver tasks.
- Standard collection of economic caregivers features [6 months]
subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months. The economic features will be reported during this period, depending on patient disease and caregiver tasks.
- Standard collection of physical health caregivers features [6 months]
subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months. The physical health features will be reported during this period, depending on patient disease and caregiver tasks.
- Standard collection of psychological health caregivers features [6 months]
subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months. The psychological health features will be reported during this period, depending on patient disease and caregiver tasks.
- Standard collection of caregivers support frequency [6 months]
subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months. The caregivers support frequency will be reported during this period, depending on patient disease and caregiver tasks.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The exhaustion level felt by caregiver is assessed with Mini-Zarit scale [6 months]
subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months
- Medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition is assessed with Mini-Zarit scale [6 months]
An exhaustion is noticed when caregiver score is ≥ 2 on Mini-Zarit scale. However, the medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition is also assessed with an increasing of 2 points from caregiver baseline score on mini-Zarit scale. subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months
- Factors associated with medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition are determined with caregiver and patient features [6 months]
subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months
