Study Summary
The burden placed on advanced cancer family caregivers (FCGs) and the toll on their mental and physical health have never been greater and is particularly pernicious for underserved groups in the Southeastern U.S., including rural-dwellers and African-Americans, for whom interventions have not been specifically developed and tested. The purpose of this K99/R00 is provide the awardee with the knowledge and training necessary to become a leading independent clinical investigator in developing and testing telehealth palliative care interventions for family caregivers (FCGs) of underserved persons with advanced cancer. The research specific aim during the K99 phase was to develop and tailor the content, format and delivery of a telehealth intervention for FCGs of persons with advanced cancer in the rural South. To meet this aim, qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with 26 lay healthcare navigators, 20 FCGs, and 18 patients with advanced cancer to elicit feedback on a FCG intervention outline based on published evidence-based interventions. After thematic analysis, major findings included that the intervention should: have topical content that is flexible and based on continuous assessment; include at least some face-to-face contact; cautiously consider internet-based technologies because internet access in rural areas is poor; and potentially have navigators lead the intervention with appropriate oversight and additional training. K99 study findings have been used to adapt and develop a potentially scalable FCG intervention in the Southern U.S. population (Project Cornerstone). The K99 study phase in combination with accomplishing the training objectives has successfully catalyzed the awardee's transition from a Postdoctoral Fellow to a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Nursing. The overall goal during the R00 phase will be to conduct a small-scale pilot RCT of Cornerstone with 70 FCGs of rural-dwelli
