Summary

Background:

\- Caring for a loved one is often stressful. Some studies show it may affect health and emotions. Researchers want to know more about this but do not know the best way to gather data. They want to know if an online survey is a good way to gather data from caregivers of people receiving cancer treatment at the NIH Clinical Center. They want to know if there are differences among caregivers depending on the type of cancer treatment the family member or friend is receiving. They want to use this data to improve support programs for caregivers.

Objectives:

\- To see if an online study is a good way to get data from caregivers of people with cancer.

Eligibility:

\- Adults 18 years old and older who are taking care of a cancer patient at the NIHCC.

Design:

* The study period begins when the family member or friend begins a new cancer treatment and continues for 6 months afterward.
* Participants will complete an online survey 3-4 times. This will include questions about caregiving, stress, emotions, and spirituality. The survey can be taken anywhere on a computer. It will take about 30 45 minutes each time.
* Participants will also answer general questions about themselves and their health. This will be done over the phone with the study team. It will take 5 minutes.
