This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) — a type of talking therapy that helps change unhelpful thought patterns — can reduce anxiety and depression in people who care for cancer patients at home. You would receive 10–12 sessions of CBT either online or in person, and researchers will measure whether your anxiety and depression symptoms improve over time.
Cancer affects the whole family, and caregivers often experience high levels of anxiety and depression while supporting their loved ones. This study exists to see whether this therapy — which has worked well for many conditions — can help caregivers feel better, and to find out whether online sessions work just as well as in-person appointments.
You will be assigned to receive either online or in-person cognitive behavioral therapy, consisting of 10–12 sessions with a trained therapist. Sessions will focus on managing anxious or depressive thoughts and building coping skills. Throughout the study, you'll complete questionnaires to measure changes in your anxiety and depression symptoms.
