Study Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies the COMFORT (C-Communication, O-Orientation and opportunity, M-Mindful presence, F-Family, O-Openings, R-Relating, and T-Team) caregiver intervention in improving communication and reducing distress in caregivers of patients with lung cancer. Caregivers of patients with cancer may experience stress and anxiety due to difficulty communicating with family, friends, and healthcare providers, or feeling unable to communicate openly. A communication intervention that improves the caregiver's ability to communicate with patients and healthcare providers may help reduce caregivers' psychological distress and improve the health outcomes of patients.
